Michael Oliver was the main referee in the Wolverhampton-Arsenal match. Although the Gunners won that match 1-0 and continue the fight for the championship title, the fans of this club 'buried' the referee with frightening threats after the match.
The decision to send off Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly at the end of the first half, due to a 'conflict' with Matt Doherty, has been criticised by the English referee.
British media reports that a special unit of the "United Kingdom Football Association" is investigating the threats.
Meanwhile, it was found that Oliver was wrong in the aforementioned situation and unjustifiably sent off Lewis-Skelly, so Arsenal's appeal was upheld and he will not be suspended for future Premier League matches.
Investigation into death threats made against Michael Oliver and family handed over to UK Football Policing Unit.
