Myles Lewis-Skelly Mocks Erling Haaland with Celebration After Scoring in Arsenal’s Dominant Win Over Manchester City

In a thrilling Premier League clash on Sunday, Arsenal’s young star Myles Lewis-Skelly stole the spotlight by mocking Erling Haaland’s iconic celebration after scoring the Gunners’ third goal against Manchester City. The 18-year-old left-back, who made his debut earlier this season, delivered a standout performance and took a cheeky jab at Haaland, who had previously taunted him during their last encounter.

Lewis-Skelly’s goal came after a powerful strike past City’s goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, putting Arsenal in firm control of the match. The teenager celebrated by mimicking Haaland’s signature meditation pose—sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, and raising his hands in a calm, meditative stance. This was a clear response to Haaland’s dismissive comment, “Who the f*** are you?” directed at Lewis-Skelly during their previous meeting at the Etihad.

The young defender’s performance drew widespread praise, with former England star Matt Upson hailing him as a potential first-choice left-back for Arsenal. Upson remarked, “What a moment for this young man. His celebration was cool, and his composure on the ball was exceptional. Riccardo Calafiori will have a tough time reclaiming his spot.”

The match also saw other dramatic moments, including Gabriel mocking Haaland after Martin Odegaard’s early goal and Haaland equalizing with a header. However, Arsenal regained control with goals from Thomas Partey, Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz, and a stunning fifth from substitute Ethan Nwaneri, sealing a 5-1 victory.

The win keeps Arsenal in the title race, trailing leaders Liverpool by nine points, while Manchester City’s struggles continue as they fight for a top-four spot. Lewis-Skelly’s performance and celebration have added a memorable chapter to this fierce rivalry.
