Match of the Day host Mark Chapman was among those criticizing the controversial red card shown to Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly during their 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday. The decision, described by some as one of the “worst ever,” left fans and pundits in disbelief.
The incident took place near Arsenal’s penalty area when Lewis-Skelly tripped Wolves’ Matt Doherty in what seemed to be a routine foul. However, referee Michael Oliver issued a straight red card, leading to speculation that it was for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity, despite the distance from goal.
The Premier League later clarified that the red card was for “serious foul play,” a decision that was upheld following a VAR review.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
