Richard Keys has made his feelings about Michael Oliver's controversial decision against Arsenal known, and he's not happy.
Last month, Premier League referee Oliver was involved in perhaps the most controversial moment of the season so far after he showed Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly a red card during the match with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Following the moment, Arsenal launched an official appeal of the decision and an independent panel upheld the London club's claim and therefore remove Lewis-Skelly's three-match suspension,

But now, the situation has developed even further, and beIN SPORTS presenter Keys has weighed in to give his opinion on the matter.
After Lewis-Skelly's suspension was lifted, the FA confirmed that they had charged Arsenal after the club's players surrounded Oliver immediately after the red card was shown.
The FA have now confirmed that because of this, they have imposed a £65,000 fine on the Premier League side, which CBS Sports journalist James Benge revealed was over three times higher than the typical fine for this kind of case.

Immediately after the news was confirmed, Keys took to social media to make his feelings known, and he isn't happy.
Reacting to the decision on X, Keys wrote: "How on earth can Arsenal be fined for an incident that was of Michael Oliver’s making - a decision that was wrong - and was later overturned? It’s Oliver who should’ve been punished. It’s incredible."
In their official statement confirming the fine, the FA revealed that Arsenal had admitted to the charge and accepted the fine.

Their statement read: "An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a £65,000 fine on Arsenal in relation to the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday 25 January.
"It was alleged that Arsenal failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way around the 43rd minute, and the club subsequently admitted to this charge."
In the full written explanation for why they decided to impose such a large fine, the FA cited "previous proven charges on its disciplinary record", "the very high number of players involved", "the unacceptable protracted time the incident took to unfold" and "the relatively forceful nature of the protestations," as their reasons.
