Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett thinks Myles Lewis-Skelly should have been shown a red card in Arsenal’s 7-1 Champions League rout of PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday night. The

18-year-old was booked in the 24th minute for a foul on Luuk de Jong. And shortly afterwards for a further foul on Richard Ledesma. Hackett felt it was time for a second yellow card and a red card. But the referee refused to give another. However, Hackett

has credited Mikel Arteta for making the decision to substitute Lewis-Skelly on 34 minutes to ensure the team remained with 11 men.

“We saw a bit of inconsistency in the refereeing,” Hackett told สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น Football 

. “I thought the first yellow card for Lewis-Skelly was a bit too soft. But then he went back on for a second yellow card and a red card but the referee let it go. “

Arteta, however, saw the game well and made the decision to take him off before it got any worse. The team kept all 11 players until the end of the game.”

Despite the refereeing issue, Arsenal ultimately showed a brutal performance. Defeating PSV 7-1, the biggest win in the history of away games in the Champions League knockout round, almost guaranteeing their place in the last 8.

As for Lewis-Skelly, he can still play in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium as usual. Before that, Arsenal have a program to visit Manchester United in the Premier League this Sunday before returning to host PSV next Wednesday.
