Referee body says it is ‘appalled’ by ‘threats and abuse’ aimed at official Michael Oliver after Arsenal red card

CNN  

CNN — The PGMOL, the body that oversees officiating in English soccer, says it is “appalled” by the “threats and abuse” aimed at referee Michael Oliver after his controversial decision to show a red card to an Arsenal player on Saturday. The play and Oliver’s judgment were reviewed by Video Assistant Referee Darren England, who ruled the on-field decision would stand after deeming the challenge “serious foul play.” “We are appalled by the threats and abuse directed at Michael Oliver following the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Arsenal fixture,” the PGMOL said in a statement. Asked if Arsenal would appeal the red card, Arteta told Sky Sports: “That’s for the club to decide what the best decision is. However, former Premier League referee Mike Dean defended the decision on Sky Sports, agreeing that it was “serious foul play” but later added that he thinks Arsenal “may well win the appeal.”
