Arsenal fans claim Myles Lewis-Skelly is 'anointed' as teenager picks up yellow card before making Premier League debut in bizarre incident vs Man City

The 17-year-old Gunners star was handed his senior debut by Mikel Arteta in injury time against the Cityzens. However, the youngster went into the referee's book even before he could make his maiden appearance in the league. In the 65th minute of the match, referee Michael Oliver reportedly overheard Lewis-Skelly advising David Raya from the sidelines to go down on the ground to waste time. Oliver immediately approached the Arsenal bench and flashed the yellow card towards the midfielder.

Gunners fans were left amused to see their academy graduate picking up a booking even before his debut as they felt the teenager got 'anointed'.Taking to X, <a href="https://x.com/oeste/status/1837900731434615158" target="_blank">Aaron West</a> wrote, "Imagine being so arsenal you get booked before even making your full debut. myles lewis-skelly is anointed."An account named <a href="https://x.com/MenInBlazers/status/1837902871196467428" target="_blank">Men in Blazers</a> posted, "Myles-Lewis Skelly has just achieved something remarkable at the tender age of 17: Received his first yellow card before even getting on the field to make his Premier League debut.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

The mega Premier League clash between the two giants lived up to the billing as the thrilling encounter <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-man-city-gabriel-magalhaes-riccardo-calafiori/blt793199530222ac4b" target="_blank">ended in a 2-2 draw</a> with the reigning champions scoring a last-gasp equaliser. Arsenal defended valiantly for the entire second half after Leandro Trossard was sent off minutes before the half-time whistle, however, the Cityzens' persistent attack eventually paid off.
