Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber admitted that the canon “handle” to be a man and not to talk much about it during the interval in Molineux on Saturday after more than half of their 1-0 victory against wolves with ten Players had played.
Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent by referee Michael Oliver shortly before half-time when a serious foul played cynically when a counterattack was dissolved and Matt Doherty began at the side of his ankle and the tip of his foot.
Many saw it as hard, with people like Alan Shearer and Ian Wright among those who have the decision that was confirmed by Var. Timber himself was booked for dissent, while Kai Havertz sank to his knee about 20 meters away when he saw the red card swang.
This season it was a fourth red card for Arsenal in the Premier League. After pulling previous games against Brighton & Hove Albion (Disclan Rice) and Manchester City (Leandro Trossard) and lost to Bournemouth (William Saliba), this was the first time that the Gunners won 2024/25 with ten players. It may also have helped that the wolves were reduced to ten in the middle of the second half, moments before Riccardo Calafiori scored the winner.
“I didn’t expect the red card to be honestly. But it happens that they have to react. We can not speak about red cards,” said Timber afterwards.
“We didn’t talk much about it at half -time either. It’s not the first time. It is still difficult, but we also know how to deal with it now. It’s not nice to go into such a second half, but it is Is what it is.
“You have to react. This is the only thing you can do is the only one in your hands. Sometimes it’s frustrating, but mentally and emotional, you have to find a way to get over it and pick it up as a team. We. We . We did that. “
Manager Mikel Areta has expressed his trust that Lewis-Skelly will be lifted his red card by the Premier League, and admits that the Gunners are willing to make an appeal against the decision.
