Myles Lewis-Skelly Scores First Goal for Arsenal and Mocks Haaland with His Celebration in a 5-1 Victory Against Manchester City at the Emirates

In a thrilling 5-1 victory for Arsenal against Manchester City, Myles Lewis-Skelly, at just 18 years old, not only scored his first-ever goal for the club but also seemed to take a jab at Manchester City’s Erling Haaland with a cheeky celebration.

The young Gunners player found the back of the net for Arsenal’s third goal of the match, and after scoring, he mimicked Haaland’s iconic celebration, where the Norwegian striker sits cross-legged in a meditative pose.

The Controversial Red Card Incident and Haaland Clash

This moment of celebration comes shortly after Lewis-Skelly had his controversial red card against Wolves rescinded after an appeal.

His performance against City, which saw him net that third goal, was made even more special considering his earlier clash with Haaland during a 2-2 draw at the Etihad in September.

During that match, Lewis-Skelly had stepped in to back up Gabriel after a confrontation with Haaland.

The City star seemed dismissive of the young player’s intervention, allegedly telling him, “Who the f*** are you?” – a remark that sparked speculation among fans on social media.

Arsenal’s Dominant 5-1 Win

Lewis-Skelly’s goal was the highlight of a fantastic display by Arsenal, who completely outclassed Manchester City in the second half of the match.

After Martin Ødegaard opened the scoring for the hosts, Haaland temporarily leveled things up for City.

However, Arsenal wasted no time in regaining the lead through a deflected shot from Thomas Partey, before Lewis-Skelly’s strike gave the Gunners a two-goal cushion.

In the final stages, Arsenal continued their relentless attack, with Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri adding two more goals to wrap up a dominant 5-1 win at the Emirates.

The performance was so commanding that Lewis-Skelly was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 90th minute, a fitting tribute to his contribution on the day.

A Sublime Evening for Mikel Arteta’s Side

This win was a huge statement from Mikel Arteta’s side, showing their ability to overpower one of the league’s strongest teams.

The match will be remembered for Lewis-Skelly’s memorable goal, his cheeky dig at Haaland, and the overall excellent performance by the entire team.
