Arsenal Women’s Football Club (W.F.C.) has recently faced disciplinary actions due to the conduct of their players. The English Football Association (FA) imposed a £65,000 fine on Arsenal after players surrounded referee Michael Oliver following the controversial red card issued to defender Myles Lewis-Skelly during a Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 25, 2025. Although the red card was later rescinded upon appeal, the FA maintained that the players’ reaction warranted the fine.
In a subsequent match against West Ham United on February 22, 2025, Lewis-Skelly received another red card after a VAR review determined he had denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. This incident further highlights the ongoing disciplinary challenges faced by the club.
These events underscore the importance of maintaining composure and adhering to professional conduct standards during matches. Arsenal W.F.C. will need to address these issues to prevent future sanctions and uphold the club’s reputation.
