THE FA has charged Arsenal for “improper” conduct against Wolves on Saturday.
Arsenal stars were left furious when Myles Lewis-Skelly received a straight red card at Molineux for a cynical foul on Matt Doherty around 90 yards out from goal.
They subsequently surrounded referee Michael Oliver to appeal the decision just before half-time.
And the Gunners have now been charged for the incident.
An FA statement read: “Arsenal FC has been charged after its players surrounded a match official during their Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers FC on Saturday, 25 January.
“The club allegedly failed to ensure that its players did not behave in an improper manner around the 43rd minute.
“Arsenal FC has until Monday, 3 February, to provide a response.”
The Gunners went on to win the match 1-0 thanks to a 74th-minute strike from summer signing Riccardo Calafiori.
Mikel Arteta was left “fuming” as a result of the red card despite the win.
However, Oliver’s controversial decision was overturned earlier this week following an appeal.
