Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was pleased that Myles Lewis-Skelly 's red card was rescinded but criticised the abuse aimed at referee Michael Oliver by fans.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.

Mikel Arteta faced the media following a tricky win in the UEFA Champions League over Girona that confirmed their progression through to the last-16. Jorginho scored a penalty to respond to the early opener from Arnaut Danjuma, and then Ethan Nwaneri scored a brilliant strike which was heavily praised by his coach.

Mikel Arteta has said that Arsenal are “actively” looking to identify targets in the January transfer window as he admits the side “ideally need some help”. The Arsenal manager said his opinion on the situation was “clear” after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to hamstring and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
