A controversial red card incident involving Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly has taken center stage once again as a new video angle circulates on social media, reigniting debates among fans and football experts alike.

In a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, the 18-year-old left-back was shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver after bringing down Wolves defender Matt Doherty about 10 yards outside the penalty area. The infraction was serious enough in the eyes of VAR to uphold the referee's decision, with the Premier League's Match Centre confirming that the tackle was deemed as serious foul play.

Reactions from fans were overwhelmingly critical. One passionate Arsenal supporter described it as "the worst decision I've ever witnessed at a football stadium," a sentiment echoed by many who felt Lewis-Skelly was unfairly penalized. The red card left Arsenal to face the remainder of the match with only 10 players, although things leveled out when Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes received a second yellow card on 70 minutes.

The resurfacing of a new clip showing the incident has changed the conversation completely. This new footage offers a reverse, zoomed-in perspective of the tackle, and it appears to demonstrate more clear contact between the two players than previously understood. While it shows significant contact made when Lewis-Skelly stepped on Doherty's foot, it also suggests that his boot made contact with Doherty's shin beforehand.

Fans are divided over this fresh angle. One commented, "Seeing this new footage, it certainly looks like it was intentional, and a dangerous play to trip him. Maybe it’s not as controversial as it seemed." In contrast, another supporter affirmed, "100 percent the correct decision. It’s a dangerous play that stopped an attack."

The debate intensified as a third fan remarked, "For everyone nailing their colors to the mast, this angle shows it’s an ankle breaker." Others chimed in with similar sentiments, suggesting that the referee made the right call, acknowledging the potential for injury with comments like, "I can see why it’s a red. No attempt to kick the ball, and he was effectively going in with his studs up."

Despite the red card setback, Arsenal showcased resilience on the field. They managed to take a 1-0 lead in the second half, thanks to a goal from Riccardo Calafiori, and held firm to secure a much-needed victory. This match marked a crucial turnaround for Mikel Arteta's side after their previous 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, turning their focus back to a positive trajectory in the Premier League.

As the controversy surrounding the red card continues, it not only highlights the complexities of officiating in football but also the passionate lengths to which fans will go to defend their teams. Could this evolving story redefine how fouls are perceived in the game? Only time will tell.
