Arsenal confirm David Luiz's red card WILL stand following failed appeal in the aftermath of the Brazilian's controversial sending off against Wolves

Arsenal have been informed that the controversial red card shown to defender David Luiz against Wolves will stand, and the player will now undertake a suspension.

Luiz was handed the straight-red dismissal following an apparent coming together with striker Willian Jose inside the area, which saw the Wolves forward left sprawling on the turf as a result.

Luiz immediately pleaded his innocence to the referee after a penalty kick and red card were awarded, only for the Video Assistant Referee to back up the decision and confirm his exit from the field.
