The hosts had just defended a Gunners corner when they looked to break away on the counter-attack.
Doherty sprinted away with the ball and was 90 yards from the Arsenal goal when he was cynically tripped by Lewis-Skelly.
Most expected a yellow card to be given, but he was instead given a red by referee Michael Oliver.
