The 17-year-old received no mercy from Haaland.
Even though Erling Haaland, one of the greatest strikers in the world, scored a century of goals for Manchester City today, Myles Lewis-Skelly, an Arsenal rookie, was unimpressed.Before Lewis-Skelly had played a minute of Premier League football, he made headlines for receiving a yellow card.According to reports, the young Arsenal player was warned for instructing David Raya to sit down so as to waste time.
Havertz’s takeout of Rodri in the opening five seconds of the match epitomised the tense moments throughout the instant classic between the two teams, which saw numerous altercations break out.After a last-minute equaliser by City defender John Stones, players from Arsenal and City clashed. This persisted till the very last minute.A fight broke out between Haaland and Gabriel during this, to which Lewis-Skelly heroically attempted to take him away from his colleagues.
Despite being seven years older and over half a foot taller than Lewis-Skelly, Haaland was not having any of it.
The Norwegian forward asked the 17-year-old, who was making his debut, “who the f*ck are you?” before he and the Polish defender Jakub Kiwior got into a physical altercation.
