Mikel Arteta's Big Risk Pays Off: Myles Lewis-Skelly Shines in Arsenal Midfield
Lewis-Skelly's Masterclass Against Fulham
Mikel Arteta has jokingly questioned his own decision-making after Myles Lewis-Skelly delivered a masterclass in Arsenal's midfield against Fulham. The teenager was handed a rare start as the Gunners look to pull away in the Premier League title race, vindicating his manager's gamble with a flawless display as the Gunners cruised to a 3-0 victory over Fulham to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Lewis-Skelly's Rise to Prominence
Lewis-Skelly is no stranger to the big stage, having enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last year where he primarily featured as an inverted left-back. He even earned plaudits for a standout performance against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu. However, his opportunities in the middle of the park have been limited this term, with the start against Fulham being only his third league appearance of the season.
- Lewis-Skelly was selected to replace Martin Zubimendi, who has looked fatigued in recent weeks.
- The youngster responded with a sensational performance.
