Late in the game at the Etihad Stadium, the young Arsenal player got into a fight with Haaland.

Following Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City, Myles Lewis-Skelly took a covert jab at Erling Haaland on Instagram.

Lewis-Skelly made his Premier League debut as a second-half substitute at the Etihad Stadium, capping off an exciting afternoon.

He was booked minutes before coming on for his debut – becoming the first player in Premier League history to ‘achieve’ the feat – after running behind the goal to give tactical instructions to goalkeeper David Raya.

The 17-year-old was cautioned for ‘a lack of respect for the game,’ which is included under the Laws of the Game’s ‘unsporting behaviour’ section, PGMOL subsequently revealed.

Near the end of regulation time, Lewis-Skelly challenged Haaland for shoving Thomas Partey off the ball, which resulted in another flashpoint.

It seemed as though Haaland yelled, “Who the f**k are you?” at him.

After the game, Lewis-Skelly took to Instagram to share his thoughts about his debut and the progress he has made since enlisting in the Arsenal academy at the age of nine.

However, what drew Gunners supporters’ attention was what was written in the comments area.

“Can’t wait for you to score the winner against City at the Emirates and run over to Haaland asking him who the f**k he is,” one person commented on his post.

The youthful midfield player for Arsenal, who hopes to be playing frequently by the time of the rematch in February, found the comment amusing.

Lewis-Skelly has received a lot of praise from Arsenal U18 boss Jack Wilshere, who has spoken highly of the 16-year-old’s performance versus City in the FA Youth Cup semifinal in 2023.

“Myles Lewis-Skelly scoring the header in the Youth Cup semi-final is one moment that sticks out for me,” he said in his explanation.

“Being an under-16 [at the time], he was enrolled in a hybrid training program while completing his GCSEs at school.

Thus, it was amazing to have a moment like that in the 120th minute when you don’t really train much, you’re still a lad, and your lungs are still baby-like. I find something quite endearing about him.”
