'I feel a million dollars' - Lewis-Skelly lights up Arsenal

"I feel like a million dollars. I had to put on a show for my grandma".

Myles Lewis-Skelly's pure joy and huge, infectious smile after he won his first north London derby captured the feeling around the 18-year-old's breakthrough season for Arsenal.

The Islington-born academy graduate was speaking to Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who was working as a TV pundit on the Gunners' vital 2-1 Premier League win against local rivals Tottenham on Wednesday.

Lewis-Skelly had just received a standing ovation for his performance by the Emirates crowd after showing the character that has helped him excel through the club's youth ranks.
