Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says that they would appeal the red card of their defender David Luiz as he claims contact was minimal.
Liuz was sent by referee Craig Pawson after a last man challenge in the first half stoppage-time on Wolves striker Willian Jose.

The defeat ended Arteta’s side seven-game unbeaten run in the League and the Gunners boss has confirmed that they would consider appealing Luiz’s red card.
Speaking to media Arteta said, “Sat here, I would say yes, let’s go straight away,” Arteta said. “But we have to speak with legal and the club and make the decision what the best thing to do is.
“I’ve seen the replay 10 times from five different angles, and I cannot see any contact. I would like to see if VAR have different angles.
“I don’t want to think that [the decision was made on David Luiz’s reputation]. I’m sure they made the decision based on seeing something. I was expecting to see something but didn’t see anything.
“Of course it changed the game – playing for 45 minutes with 10 men in the Premier League, without your central defender, of course it changes the game.
“It was a big decision. If the officials got it right, and can justify they got it right, I will put my hand up and apologise. But I didn’t see any contact and that is really frustrating because it was a big moment in the game.
“The way we lost the game is where it really hurts, it’s painful, but I have to take the positives. We didn’t concede any chances but Moutinho scored a ‘worldie’ and it’s 2-1. Bernd comes out and hits the ball with his hand, it’s a clear red card and we’re down to nine players and it’s almost impossible to win.”
