Mikel Arteta said Myles Lewis-Skelly should learn from their precipitation after escaping a second yellow card in PSV Eindhoven’s 7-1 drunce.
The 18 -year -old was replaced just a few minutes after committing a reckless challenge about Richard Lutezma in the first half, which should probably have seen the full backs to be sent.
This is not the first time Lewis-Skelly disrespects the line, following red cards against Wolves and West Ham-lobby, his folding wolves has been overthrown by the FA in appeal.
Prior to the departure of the Arsenal Premier League against Manchester United on Sunday, Arteta said: ‘I think it was very clear that we had a liability there, with the yellow card and the next action.
“So it was not a time to take risks and learn from this experience by managing the game for so long, especially with the importance of this competition. So, yes, a lesson to learn from him for sure. Let’s support him and help him. But the line is really thin in sport, and he needs to understand that.
When asked how this physicality can be controlled without taking anything from the defender’s game, he replied, ‘I think dominating the situation, that’s it. Control the situation. You need to dominate. What space are you defending? What is the level of exposure you have?

Arteta moved quickly to replace the young man, although it was still only the first half
‘Is the opponent facing you or not? So what is the probability of winning the ball and when you need to commit to certain duels? And then you must apply defensive principles that are very clear to have the best possibility of winning the ball and not being exposed.
“If you don’t do that at this level, it’s a big problem.”
This Sunday’s match sees the Gunners face a Manchester United team with Chido Obi, which left the northern London club during the summer.
Arsenal was eager to keep the 17 -year -old and Arteta has now described his departure as “very unhappy.”
He added: ‘Obviously, when a player decides that the best way for him is to leave, there is not much that you can do.
Very unfortunate, because we want to keep our gym players and be very successful with the first team. But in this case, with Ayden (sky), we were not able to do that.
