Jamie Carragher compares Myles Lewis-Skelly to an England great after Arsenal's win over Real Madrid - as he hails 'spectacular' Gunners star

Jamie Carragher has heaped praise on Myles Lewis-Skelly after Arsenal's stunning 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

The Gunners put in a brilliant display on Tuesday against an out-of-sorts Real, with two sensational Declan Rice free-kicks and a third strike from Mikel Merino securing the victory.

Rice took the plaudits, but several Arsenal stars, including Lewis-Skelly, shone at the Emirates.

The 18-year-old, who became only the second English players aged 18 or under alongside Jude Bellingham to start a Champions League quarter-final, has enjoyed a breakout season having racked up 29 appearances in all competitions.
