    Lewis-Skelly is now following in illustrious footsteps. His goal - at the age of 18 years and 129 days – saw him become the youngest player since Wayne Rooney to score his first goal against the champions of English football.

    Lewis-Skelly's celebration wasn't the only jibe Arsenal directed at City. Kendrick Lamar's famous track Humble was played over the stadium speakers at full-time - a reference to Haaland telling coach Mikel Arteta to "stay humble" after the teams played out a 2-2 draw in September.
