[Saba Sports News] According to British media, the Premier League referees’ body supported Michael Oliver’s decision to send off Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly. The referees’ body backed Oliver’s on-field decision and subsequent VAR process. Their stance is that Skelly’s challenge was late and high, and video evidence supports this conclusion. They also mentioned that Oliver received abuse on social media after the match. The match referee was Michael Oliver, with Darren England as VAR. In the post-match press conference, Mikel Arteta responded to questions about the referee’s decision: “Because we invest a lot of energy, time, and passion in our work and dedicate ourselves to it, no matter what happens, you must maintain the desire and will to win, overcome difficulties, and not give up. Handling such situations is my job, our job, and unfortunately, we are used to it.” What do the fans think about this?
