Who are you? Erling Haaland asked Arsenal’s teenage debutant Myles Lewis-Skelly — albeit in slightly more colourful language — after John Stones had snatched a dramatic late point for Manchester City at the Etihad in September.
The whole world knows who Lewis-Skelly is now. After the 18-year-old scored Arsenal’s third goal in their 5-1 rout of City at the Emirates on Sunday, he plonked himself down on the turf, crossed his legs and pinched his fingers and thumbs together to mimic Haaland’s meditation celebration.
What the proceeding circus has overshadowed, however, is how quickly the full back has established himself as one of the Premier League’s top performers — one who will be crucial for Mikel Arteta if the Gunners are to chase down Liverpool in their quest for the Premier League title.
