Manager Arteta is sent off

I opened my mouth about it.

Arsenal lost 1-2 in the 22nd round of the 2020-2021 English Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers held at Wolverhampton Molynew on February 3 (Korean time).

The two sent-offs had a big impact on the game. David Lewis was sent off for extra time in the first half, and goalkeeper Bernd Leno was sent off in the 27th minute.

Lewis’ exit scene was controversial. Although Lewis made contact with an opponent striker who had a one-on-one chance, it was debated whether Lewis committed a foul deserving of being sent off. This is because in many cases, when a penalty kick is declared, a red card is given a double penalty.

In an interview by British’BBC’ after the match, coach Mikel Arteta said, “We will appeal right away. But we have to decide first what is best.” Running 45 minutes with 10 people without it, it changed the game.”

“If Lewis and he made contact, I don’t know if there are other angles I haven’t seen. It’s hard to win a match with such a big decision.”

Goalkeeper Leno’s foul situation was easy to judge. This is because Leno punches the ball outside the penalty box.

Manager Arteta also said, “Leno came out and touched the ball with his hand. That’s a clear red card. We have nine players and it’s almost impossible to win.”
