MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY has seen red again - just weeks after his controversial sending-off at Wolves.
The Arsenal teenager was given his marching orders during the second half of Saturday's clash with West Ham.
Lewis-Skelly was initially shown a yellow card after dragging down Mohammed Kudus as he attempted to break in on goal.
The teenager was caught in possession on the halfway line, with Arsenal pushing for an equaliser in North London.
West Ham led thanks to a first-half strike from Jarrod Bowen.
Kudus nicked the ball off Lewis-Skelly, with Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya miles off his line.
With the Hammers forward in the clear, the Gunners defender lunged in to try and poke the ball away.
He made limited contact with the ball, bringing Kudus down and after an initial yellow card, Craig Pawson upgraded it to red following a VAR review.
The Premier League explained: "VAR checked the referee’s call of yellow card to Lewis-Skelly for a challenge on Kudus – deeming it denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity due to the goalkeeper’s position and there being no covering defender, therefore recommended an on-field review.
"The referee then upgraded the yellow to a red card."
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Lewis-Skelly has been shown two reds this season, following a controversial sending-off against Wolves last month.
The 18-year-old received a straight red at Molineux for a cynical foul on Matt Doherty on January 25.
On that occasion, Lewis-Skelly made the tackle on the edge of the Wolves area as they attempted to counter.
The decision was slammed by pundits and former officials, including ex-head of the PGMOL Keith Hackett.
Hackett called for ref Michael Oliver to be SUSPENDED over the "major error", which prompted a debate over the use of VAR in the Prem.
The Premier League confirmed that VAR supported the decision as Lewis-Skelly was guilty of "serious foul play".
But Arsenal later launched an appeal and the FA subsequently lifted Lewis-Skelly's suspension.
An FA statement on January 28 read: "An independent Regulatory Commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Myles Lewis-Skelly and removed his three-match suspension.
"The Arsenal player was sent off for serious foul play during their Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, January 25, 2025."
The PGMOL later confirmed police had launched an investigation into the "abhorrent abuse" targeting Oliver after the game.
It read: "We are appalled by the threats and abuse directed at Michael Oliver following the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Arsenal fixture.
"No official should be subject to any form of abuse, let alone the abhorrent attacks aimed at Michael and his family over the past 24 hours.
"The police are aware, and a number of investigations have commenced.
SunSport has also revealed how Lewis-Skelly is close to a call-up for England - despite making less than 10 Premier League starts.
The teenager has yet to play for the England under-21s but has caught the eye of new boss Thomas Tuchel.

It's not red Arsenal must appeal this red card, if PGMOL and English FA fail to overturn it we will go to Court of Arbitration for sports. The Skelly kid is not known for rash tackling or synic play. Always against Arsenal, don't want us to win the league. This is the usual Arsenal cry baby stand. Cheers!
delusions!! how could that possibly not be a red card

Skelly was trying to pass the ball to the keeper. I think Refree got it wrong because he removed the ball from Kudus's leg. Poor refereeing, I guessed.

Why is it always Arsenal all the time? We watch other matches in EPL, and a so-called red card will not be given by a good referee.

Have always said it that this stupid turn from this boy will cost us one day … he’s been lucky with it in two different occasions, but not today … though I love his defensive ability, nd I’m very sure he would have done better marking than calafiori that allow so much space for wan-biasaka to cross to Bowen for d goal today. We need been with to back in d starting line up fast too.. he’s far better than timber in Chance creating for d team

One mistake,too many. All these dropped points have been Arsenal's Achilles hills,it would haunt them as they given Liverpool baton to go on and win the EPL title. Congrats in advance to Liverpool FC
