Arsenal lose appeal against Dowman’s red card in shock Fleetwood defeat
Teenage rising star Max Dowman was sent off for kicking out at Harrison Neal following a strong challenge in the 85th minute of the League Cup tie.
Arsenal has suffered a setback after their appeal against Max Dowman's red card during their League Cup defeat to Fleetwood was dismissed by an independent commission. The 16-year-old player received the red card for kicking out at Harrison Neal in the 85th minute of the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw followed by a penalty shootout.
Despite Arsenal's appeal, both wrongful dismissal and excessive punishment allegations against Dowman were rejected by the Football Association. As a result, the teenager will serve a three-game ban, beginning with Arsenal's upcoming Premier League match against Liverpool on Sunday. Arsenal, currently tied with Manchester City on points in the league, will face the League Cup challenge of either Everton or Newcastle in the quarter-finals.
