Declan Rice hails 'unbelievable' Arsenal team-mate Myles Lewis-Skelly after north London derby win over Tottenham - as he compares the teenager to classy ex-Premier League midfielder

Declan Rice heaped praise on Myles Lewis-Skelly after the teenager starred in Arsenal's north London derby win over Tottenham on Wednesday night.

Lewis-Skelly, 18, has broken into the Arsenal first team in recent weeks and excelled at left back, despite playing most of his academy career as a midfielder.

He produced another fine performance at the Emirates on Wednesday as Arsenal came from behind to secure a 2-1 win and close to within four points of league leaders Liverpool.

Speaking after the match, Rice hailed Lewis-Skelly's fearless approach, and compared him to ex-Tottenham and Fulham midfielder Moussa Dembele.
