The 18-year-old was sent off after referee Michael Oliver ruled his challenge on Matt Doherty as a deliberate foul during a counter-attack. However, Arsenal contested the decision, arguing that it was harsh and unjustified. Following a review, the FA upheld Arsenal's claim of wrongful dismissal, resulting in the rescission of the red card and suspension.
This decision comes as a relief for Arsenal, as Lewis-Skelly will now be available for selection in their upcoming fixtures, strengthening Mikel Arteta's midfield options. The incident had drawn significant attention, with fans and pundits debating the fairness of the original decision.
