Arsenal 5-1 Man City: How Myles Lewis-Skelly led a weapon in the humble Erling Hauland while the rivalry continued | Football news
The first time Erling Haaland met Myles Lewis-Skelly last September, the Manchester City striker had no idea who was a teenager Arsenal.
“Who are you ****?” He cried with an 18-year-old. “It looks like he’ll eat it,” Gary Neville added about Hauland’s mannerism towards his opponent.
Fasting for four months and the only thing Haaland ate after the next game against Lewis-Skelly was a modest pie that came with full-time.
The city striker thought he had silenced Emirates with his second half equalist, but he knew a little that the teenager he durable with 133 days before he would end the last smiling in a 5-1 victory, which made the Haaland’s Modeling “modest” stay ” Comments Arteti in September.
Lewis-Skelly took away the game from the city, his blinding race in the box and ended up by Stefan Ortega was the moment when Haaland and Co knew I couldn’t win this game.
But the 18-year-old decision to ridicule Haaland’s celebration of meditation has abolished the confidence of this young man. He even stopped Pepa Guardiola in his marks at his press conference after the match.
This resulted in Haaland 10 minutes later to move to Lewis-Skelly to acknowledge the offense. Haaland saw, Haaland noted, Haalanda didn’t like it. Maybe his father is not, judging by his own ports on social networks.
Lewis -skelly had that crowd throughout the game – rowing on arrogance. But crucial – and unlike Haalanda – who had nine touches of the ball and who accused Thierry Henry “does not do enough” – the young man supported his madness regarding Haaland, with a great comprehensive performance.
He owned four times in the middle of the field – only William Saliba had a larger number. One of those moments saw him protect the ball from The Haalanda in the box.
His desire to ride through the middle of the field saw him win three offenses – no player on the field beat more, and the last game caused that moment of frustration from Haaland. “It’s fearless,” Gary Neville said about comments.
“He’s very good at expressing – some players struggle with that,” Mikel Arteta said after playing on the big forces of Lewis -skelly.
“He does this in his body language, how he lives a game. He wants things to happen, take over the initiative. At that age, it’s not easy to see.”
It was clear in the exhibition – and it echoed around the team. It was part of the collective message that Arsenal would not be pushed around.
The second flash saw Gabriel to celebrate Martin Odegaard opener in Haaland’s face after only two minutes. Even the Arsenal announcer and played Kendrick Lemar ‘Set Down, Be Humble’ Path with full -time whistle.
While Artea revealed after a big victory over City that he wanted his team to focus on the performance – but his players – and his club – had other ideas.
“We had a fire in our stomach, we really wanted to change that,” said the match player Declan Rice. This included Haaland’s treatment of Lewis-Skelly on Etihad.
But the bigger message led by Lewis-Skelly was a colleague of young man Ethan Nwaneri, who brought about 10 minutes.
The goal and confidence of the left back showed Nwaner that anything is possible at this level. So the 17-year replacement put one in the lower corner, the last blow of the game.
This meant that Nwaneri put one past Tim Guardiola at the age of 17 and 318 days. Only one player achieved that feat at a younger age. Her name is Jude Bellingham.
Arsenal has two young men who can help in any context, in any testing environment. This will not be enough for many – because it takes additional help from the transfer market – but it is reinforcement. “They play with a lot of purposes and play to contribute and do things,” Artete added.
Gunners have already been here with Bukayo Sakak and Emile Smith Rowe, two young people who have come to the star together, but the latter has gone to Fulham ever since.
The Artet’s Youth Bringing Record has been questioned recently, and Chido Obi Martin and Ayden Heaven have been jumping to Manchester United in the last six months.
But Lewis -skelly – and nwaneri – showed that even the big Haaland – who became one of the fastest players on 250 career goals on Sunday – can be demolished not only by listening to the noise, but also accepting it.
Arsenal players players – included Lewis -skelly – I can dress in Haaland’s head for the rest of the night. He certainly knows who the 18-year-old is now.
