Myles Lewis-Skelly mocks Erling Haaland in controversial new Arsenal message
Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly took to social media to poke fun at Man City striker Erling Haaland after their 5-1 Premier League demolition on Sunday (February 2).
The 18-year-old scored his first senior goal for Arsenal as they secured a comprehensive win over the current champions, copying Haaland’s, 24, famous meditation celebration after his goal.
Arsenal fans loved what they saw from their most recent Hale End academy product, taking to social media to laud the youngster.
Lewis-Skelly and Haaland have history, having clashed in the reverse fixture—an encounter that also marked the young left-back’s debut.
After the full-time whistle in their 2-2 draw, the youngster stepped ahead of teammate Gabriel, who was locked in a heated exchange with Haaland following John Stones’ late equaliser.
Haaland, who was clearly taken aback by Lewis-Skelly’s fearlessness, asked “Who the f*** are you” before continuing his disagreement with Jakub Kiwior.

Goals from Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Kai Havertz, and Ethan Nwaneri helped see off Pep Guardiola’s resurgent Man City side.
Lewis-Skelly is having a real breakout season at Arsenal, starting 14 of his 22 games across youth and senior levels, scoring one goal, and providing one assist in his 1173 minutes of action.
He has since taken to Instagram to celebrate the win, sharing an image of himself doing Haaland’s celebration and saying: “First senior goal for our club. We keep pushing TOGETHER.”
Mikel Arteta’s attention will turn from the Premier League to the League Cup as they prepare for a trip to Newcastle, hoping to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the second leg.
