The 18-year-old sensation opened his senior goal account in the heavyweight showdown with City at Emirates Stadium. Lewis-Skelly fired beyond Stefan Ortega to hit the net, giving the Gunners a 4-1 lead. The Arsenal academy graduate then copied City star Haaland's celebration, sitting in a meditation pose.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
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. Team-mate Ethan Nwaneri - at 17 years and 318 days old - then overtook him with a goal to make it 5-1..

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.
