The Football Association has dismissed Arsenal’s appeal against the sending-off of teenage midfielder Max Dowman and his subsequent three-match suspension.

Arsenal disclosed this in a statement published on its website on Thursday, quoting the FA as saying an independent Regulatory Commission had rejected the club’s claims of wrongful dismissal and excessive punishment.

Dowman was sent off during Arsenal’s EFL Cup match against Fleetwood Town on Tuesday, October 27, and will serve a three-match suspension.

“An independent Regulatory Commission has dismissed claims of both wrongful dismissal and excessive punishment for Max Dowman.

“The Arsenal player was sent off during their EFL Cup game against Fleetwood Town on Tuesday 27 October and will be suspended for three matches,” the FA statement read.

The club has not announced any further action following the ruling.
