“Who Are You?” – Everyone Knows Myles Lewis-Skelly Now After Arsenal’s 5-1 Win Over Man City

Lewis-Skelly Silences Haaland in Arsenal’s Statement Win

The first time Myles Lewis-Skelly crossed paths with Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker demanded to know: “Who are you?”

Fast forward five months, and Haaland won’t need to ask again.

At just 18 years old, Lewis-Skelly delivered a breakout performance, inspiring Arsenal’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Manchester City, keeping the Gunners firmly in the Premier League title race.

The rising star not only scored his first senior goal, but he also celebrated it in style, dropping to his knees with Haaland’s own signature meditation pose—a direct response to their fiery first encounter.

This was more than just a goal. It was a statement.

From Yellow Card at Etihad to Hero at Emirates

🔹 September 2024 – In an intense 2-2 draw at the Etihad, Lewis-Skelly made headlines without playing a single minute, receiving a yellow card while warming up.
🔹 February 2025 – He torments City on the pitch, scoring a crucial goal in Arsenal’s dominant 5-1 win.

His performance was only possible after his controversial red card against Wolves last week was rescinded on appeal. City must wish it had stood.

Arsenal’s Victory: A Humiliating Defeat for City

Erling Haaland and Myles Lewis-Skelly clashed after Manchester City and Arsenal drew 2-2 in September

The tension between Arsenal and City has been brewing since September.

🔹 Pep Guardiola fueled the rivalry after the Etihad draw, stating: “You want a war? Now we war.”
🔹 Arsenal delivered their response at the Emirates, humiliating the defending champions in front of their home crowd.

How Arsenal Destroyed Man City

📌 2′ – Martin Ødegaard capitalizes on a City defensive error to put Arsenal ahead.
📌 55′ – Haaland equalizes with a powerful header, briefly reviving City’s hopes.
📌 57′ – Thomas Partey’s deflected shot restores Arsenal’s lead.
📌 62′ – Myles Lewis-Skelly fires in his first goal for Arsenal, triggering the now-iconic celebration.
📌 76′ – Kai Havertz adds a fourth with a clinical finish.
📌 84′ – Ethan Nwaneri, another 17-year-old sensation, curls in a fifth to complete the rout.

City were level for just 105 seconds before imploding completely.

BBC summarizer Matt Upson described their downfall perfectly:

“Man City are completely broken.”

Lewis-Skelly’s Performance: A Star in the Making

🔥 Confidence Beyond His Years – The teenager didn’t just perform—he thrived under pressure, bringing energy and aggression.
🔥 Defensive & Attacking Contribution – From driving forward in midfield to stepping up with a crucial goal, he dominated the game.
🔥 Arsenal’s Left-Back Solution? – With England manager Thomas Tuchel struggling for options in that position, Lewis-Skelly’s versatility could be a major asset.

“You need big individual performances against City, and Myles was certainly one of them,” said Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira echoed the praise:

“He plays with confidence, with maturity. He looks like he belongs at this level.”

A Crucial Win for Arsenal in the Title Race

This was a must-win game for Arsenal.

A loss would have left them nine points behind Liverpool, having played a game more.
Instead, the gap remains six points—keeping Arsenal in the fight.

Their 14-game unbeaten league run suggests that if Liverpool slip up, Arsenal are ready to capitalize.

Man City’s Collapse: Guardiola’s Biggest Crisis?

Manchester City’s alarming decline continues.

Four goals conceded in a single half vs PSG (4-2 loss, Champions League).
Four goals conceded in a single half vs Arsenal (5-1 loss, Premier League).
41 points after 24 games – their worst tally since 2008/09.

Even Guardiola struggled to defend his team’s performance:

“We forgot to do what we should do. It’s happened all season. We are giving away too many things.”

With Real Madrid waiting in the Champions League, City look fragile and vulnerable, raising serious doubts about their ability to defend their European crown.

Final Thoughts: Arsenal’s Young Stars Shine Bright

Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri proved that Arsenal’s youth pipeline is as strong as ever.
Their performance showed resilience, composure, and a fearless mentality—qualities needed to win a title race.
Arsenal are now Liverpool’s biggest challengers for the Premier League trophy.

As Lewis-Skelly walked off to a standing ovation, the Emirates crowd chanted his name—a moment that could be just the beginning of something special.

The Final Insult to Haaland & Man City

After the final whistle, Arsenal blasted Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE” over the stadium speakers—a not-so-subtle message aimed at Erling Haaland’s past comments.

If Arsenal keep their feet on the ground, this could be a title race to remember.
