Arsenal earned bragging rights in the North London Derby after beating Tottenham 2-1 at the Emirates.
After three frustrating results, Arsenal returned to winning ways in style, overcoming their rivals at home.
Arsenal beat Spurs 2-1 in an eventful game in N5, seeing Mikel Arteta celebrate joyously at full-time.
A Dominic Solanke own goal inspired by Gabriel Magalhaes and a Leandro Trossard strike won the game but, it was another player who earned high praise.
Myles Lewis-Skelly matches Cesc Fabregas North London Derby record
Gabriel was awarded the Premier League Man of the Match award however, there was a strong claim for Myles Lewis-Skelly to win the prize.
The 18-year-old quite frankly showed off on his North London Derby debut, schooling Spurs on the left flank at every given opportunity.
Lewis-Skelly celebrated cheekily with the Arsenal fans when he was substituted off, on what was a glorious night for the teen, who actually made history.
That is because the 18-year-old became the youngest player to start a North London Derby for Arsenal in 20 years, matching Cesc Fabregas’ record.
Fabregas started against Spurs back in 2005, with Lewis-Skelly joining him in the record books of the standout fixture.
What Lewis-Skelly did at full-time after Arsenal beat Tottenham
The teenager not only showed his passion for Arsenal on the pitch with his performance but at full-time also.
After the game was won, Lewis-Skelly celebrated wildly on the pitch, spotted ‘roaring’ at the home fans and kissing the badge on his chest, as journalist Sam Dean noted.
It was a dream outcome from a dream scenario for the Hale End graduate, who is having a breakthrough season to remember, earning the full trust of Arteta.
Against Spurs, the 18-year-old only strengthened his claim to the starting XI, in what was a remarkable showing from the youngster.
