Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly impressed in the North London derby, captivating fans with his defensive solidity and attacking contributions.
Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly captivated the Emirates Stadium crowd with a commendable performance in the North London derby on Wednesday. Mikel Arteta's team staged a comeback to secure a vital three points, thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke and Leandro Trossard, earning them a much-needed victory. One of the standout performers during the match was teenage full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly, who made his North London derby debut with an exceptional display.
Not only was Lewis-Skelly solid defensively, but the 18-year-old also appeared comfortable venturing forward. He showcased his versatility by making two interceptions and two clearances, while also completing an impressive 94 percent of his passes. Lewis-Skelly delighted the home supporters on numerous occasions, notably when he 'shushed' the travelling Tottenham fans after Arsenal took the lead, a moment that generated significant buzz on social media. Fans were quick to praise his performance, with one user stating: 'Myles Lewis-Skelly outstanding again at left-back, inverting into midfield when needed, reading the game superbly and intercepting well. Very composed. Totally unfazed by hype and tension around the Arsenal team.' Another fan commented: 'Myles Lewis-Skelly man of the match and it’s not close. Unbelievable performance in that atmosphere and he loved every second of it.' A third user remarked: 'Lewis Skelly adapted to men’s football immediately and is consistent enough to flatout cement a starting spot at 18 don’t think our fans realise how insane that is. Biggest positive from the season for me.'Earlier this month, reports suggested that Arsenal were in discussions with Lewis-Skelly regarding a new contract following his outstanding breakout season. He only signed his first professional contract in October last year.
