Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly announced himself on the big stage once again after an impressive performance against Manchester City.

The youngster was given the nod at left-back after his sending-off was overturned by an independent commission – making him available once again.

Lewis-Skelly was tasked with dealing with some of Man City’s big threats, with Omar Marmoush, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland all looking to cause him and Arsenal problems.

The Hale End academy graduate dealt with the defensive threats well, while it was his attacking moments that may be remembered best.

Myles Lewis-Skelly copies Erling Haaland celebration for Arsenal

It was something of a topsy-turvy game at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal rushed into a quick one-goal lead through Martin Odegaard.

The Gunners couldn’t extend that lead though, with Erling Haaland pegging the side back to level terms.

They did fire back quickly though as Thomas Partey struck just moments later, with Lewis-Skelly then curling an effort to double the lead.

It was a huge moment for the youngster as his side took control of the tie, one that he will remember for years to come.

He even took time to fire a shot at Erling Haaland as he copied the star’s “yoga pose” celebration shortly after.

It was a cheeky shot at the striker as his side strutted their way towards another huge three points.

Myles Lewis-Skelly proving ready for England call-up

No one quite knows what the ceiling could be for Lewis-Skelly, given the impressive nature that he has fit into the first team.

Whether his future lies at left-back or in midfield remains to be seen, but what is clear is that he is putting himself in the frame to play wherever that may be.

It may not just be for club, but also country as Arsenal Insider understands Thomas Tuchel and England scouts have been watching the star.

Lewis-Skelly may well be ready for that as he has shown his multi-purpose nature against opponents in all rungs of the table.

Against the lower level sides, the 18-year-old has the passing ability and guile to cut his way through low blocks.

When facing those better teams, Lewis-Skelly has held his own with the strength and ability to stop the fierce attackers.
