Arsenal have been sanctioned by the FA following their clash with Wolves.

The Gunners earned a vital 1-0 win in terms of the race to win the Premier League tile back on January 25, but it didn’t come without having to be worked for – or controversy.

Mikel Arteta’s side spent more than half of the game playing with 10 men after defender Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off by referee Michael Oliver for a trip on Wolves’ Matt Doherty.

Following the call, Gunners players surrounded Oliver, with the likes of Gabriel and Declan Rice involved in voicing their opinions and displeasure at the call. It was eventually overturned.

Still, Arsenal won 1-0 thanks to Riccardo Calafiori’s second half goal, with Joao Gomes of Wolves also shown a red card 20 minutes from time.

Now, the FA have confirmed that Arsenal have been fined £65,000 for for their playing behaving in an ‘improper way’ when Lewis-Skelly was sent off.

A report read: ‘An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a £65,000 fine on Arsenal in relation to the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday 25 January.

‘It was alleged that Arsenal failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way around the 43rd minute, and the club subsequently admitted to this charge.’
