From the source
Arsenal are reportedly set to appeal the red card given to young winger Max Dowman in the Carabao Cup defeat against Fleetwood Town last night.
The Gunners suffered a surprise Carabao Cup exit as they lost on penalties to the League Two side, and Dowman was given his marching orders towards the end of the game.
The 16-year-old lashed out at an opponent after a heavy challenge, though with hindsight and the benefit of some replays, it looked like a red card was perhaps a bit harsh in that moment.
