Arsenal were fined £65,000 for failing to control their players during the incident in which 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly was shown a straight red card for a foul on Matt Doherty in a 1-0 win at Molineux on 25 January.

The Gunners appealed against the decision and the teenager's three-match ban was subsequently overturned.
