Arsenal fail in bid to reduce Aubameyang ban following red card at Crystal Palace

Arsenal will be without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for three matches after the FA upheld his three-game ban for his red card against Crystal Palace.

Aubameyang was sent off midway through the second half of Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Selhurst Park after catching Max Meyer high on the ankle with a poor challenge by the touchline.

Referee Paul Tierney showed a yellow card, but the Video Assistant Referee had a look and, after a two-and-a-half-minute delay, the caution was upgraded to a dismissal.

The Gabon forward was distraught as he left the pitch and Meyer had to follow him down the tunnel after failing to recover from the tackle.

Aubameyang - who has 16 goals in all competitions this season - will miss the club's next three games against Sheffield United, Chelsea and Bournemouth.
