Football: 'Yes, let's go straight away and appeal' - Arteta on Luiz red card at Wolves

Mikel Arteta hit out at the decision to send off David Luiz after nine-man Arsenal's 2-1 defeat at Wolves. Defender Luiz and goalkeeper Bernd Leno were shown red cards as Joao Moutinho's stunning effort earned Wolves their first win in nine games. Nicolas Pepe had given the Gunners the lead as they threatened to run riot in the first half. But Luiz was dismissed by referee Craig Pawson after conceding a penalty for a trip on Willian Jose which allowed Ruben Neves to level and Leno saw red when he handled outside his area in the second half. There appeared to be little contact between Luiz and the striker and boss Arteta confirmed the club would consider an appeal. "I would say yes, let's go straight away, but we have to speak and make the decision (about) what's the best thing to do," said Arteta, with Arsenal 10th and four points adrift of the top five.
