Erling Haaland has seemingly aimed a sly dig at Myles Lewis-Skelly after the Arsenal defender was sent off in the club’s latest match. Lewis-Skelly, who has been one of the Gunners’ standout performers in the Premier League this season, earned his place in the first team at just 18 years old. Despite his age, the left-back plays with maturity and composure, often looking like an experienced player, much to the admiration of the Arsenal fanbase.
However, the young Englishman has had some disciplinary issues. Earlier in the season, he was sent off in a controversial red card against Wolves, which was later overturned. Unfortunately, he faced a similar situation in the match against West Ham. This time, though, the decision will stand, as he was the last man in Arsenal’s half. The red card proved costly for Arsenal, making it more difficult for them to secure a result in the game. Naturally, the Gunners would have preferred that Lewis-Skelly had stayed on the pitch to help his team.
Following the match, a Manchester City fan page shared an image of some West Ham supporters mocking Lewis-Skelly by performing Haaland’s signature celebration. TalkSport has reported that Haaland liked the post, which seemed to signal his approval of the jibe aimed at the Arsenal defender.
While the dig may have been a lighthearted moment for Haaland and the West Ham fans, it is unlikely to be a major concern for Arsenal. What matters most for the Gunners now is focusing on finding ways to win games. With the season winding down, every point counts, and they need to secure as many victories as possible to finish the campaign strong.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Were it not for his youth, LMS would be chastised by his own fans for his second red card incident which showed up his limitations as the last defender when faced with a quality oponent.Arteta personally needs to get across to the young man the error of his ways .He has unfortunately become a potential target for opponents who will look to take advantage of his combativeness whenever possible.Of course the decision to expose him at LB is down to our Manager who paid around 40m for Calafiori who, like LMS is not a left back, and never will be.
Second red card incident?
I’m confused.
Which was the first?
He’s had only one red card.
You shouldn’t make things up
He has only had one red card. Same as Saliba, do we put them in the same category?
Arsenal is playing not only team but also official and var
DOH! Everyone team is.
