Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show
Another ridiculous red, but Arsenal find a way
•
Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to reflect on another ludicrous red card for Arsenal, as Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off in Saturday's 1-0 victory at Molineux. Is the way PGMOL is being operated the best practice for the Premier League?
The panel also talk spirit and professionalism, as unlike Arsenal’s previous three red cards this season, they found a way to win thanks to a beautiful strike from Riccardo Calafiori.
Plus - our man of the match Declan Rice, the encouragement winning with 10 men will give the team, and a look ahead to Girona in the final group stage of the Champions League.
Produced by Jay Beale.
