Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was pleased that Myles Lewis-Skelly 's red card was rescinded but criticised the abuse aimed at referee Michael Oliver by fans. The 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly has escaped a three-match suspension after the FA overturned Oliver's decision to send him off in Saturday's 1-0 win at Wolves.

Newcastle are desperate to keep hold of him however, with Howe describing him as "world-class", and a deal is seen as unlikely for the January window. Fabrizio Romano has previously described Isak as Arteta's "dream" signing, so it's likely they'll return for his services in the summer if they're unsuccessful this month.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has defended his £32m signing Mikel Merino following criticism from Jamie Carragher. Merino signed a four-year deal with the Gunners after completing a big-money move from La Liga side Real Sociedad last summer.
