Arsenal managed to keep its composure after Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card to register a 1-0 win over Wolves.
Arsenal managed to keep the good vibes going from its 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb midweek, but Michael Oliver made the Gunners work hard for their 1-0 win over Wolves.
Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off just before half time as the teenager cynically stopped a would-be counterattack after an Arsenal corner. A yellow card and nothing more.
Or so we thought.
Oliver sent Myles off, much to the shock of football fans in attendance and around the world. Some even wanted the Gunners not to come out in the second half in protest of the decision.
But Arsenal came out and was determined to get a positive result...and it got it thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's strike to give the visitors the lead, one they never relinquished as the football gods shined down on Mikel Arteta's team.
Speaking post-game, Arteta couldn't be happier for how his team responded and fought to ensure the win.
"I'm extremely proud of all the players," Arteta said via arsenal.com. "You can talk about our courage, you can talk about the spirit, but as well about intelligence. The way they managed emotionally the game, it was unbelievable. And especially with what we have to face and how they felt about it. All of them, just face the situation, the challenge. We went to the second half, the only message was to go out there and help to win the game. That's it. Somebody doesn't feel it, don't go. And they certainly did it in a very convincing way to themselves to win the game."
The win moves the Gunners up to second, six points behind Liverpool who had a game in hand.
Given the scale of the backlash to the decision even though the Gunners one, we can only imagine if Arteta's side had of lost or drawn this game, what the reaction would have been.
But it's clear that fans and credentialed media like Charles Watts and Sami Mokbel have had enough of these types of decisions happening all too often in the Premier League.
The Gunners face Girona in the Champions League midweek before hosting Manchester City in the league in what promises to be a big week for Arsenal.
And exactly what happens with Lewis-Skelly's red card will be a headline for days to come.
