The recent match between Arsenal and Tottenham was nothing short of thrilling, with both teams putting on an impressive display. However, one player in particular caught the attention of spectators and fellow players alike - Myles Lewis-Skelly. His performance was nothing short of impressive, and it left even Tottenham's Declan Rice in awe.
Rice could not help but heap praise on Lewis-Skelly, calling him "ridiculous" and "scary" after the match. The young player's skills were on full display as Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over their rivals, closing the gap between them and Premier League leaders Liverpool to just four points. It was a crucial win for Mikel Arteta's side, and Lewis-Skelly played a key role in their success.
The match began with Tottenham's Son Heung-min scoring the opening goal, but Arsenal quickly equalized when the ball deflected into the net off Dominic Solanke from a corner. It was a tense and exciting match, and it was clear that Lewis-Skelly had a major impact on the outcome. In fact, his performance has been described as "unbelievable" by Rice, who was impressed by the 18-year-old's progression.
"The young boy Myles again is just unbelievable, for 18 what he showed tonight is just ridiculous," Rice shared in an interview with TNT Sports. "It's scary, the 18-year-olds now have got no fear, they've got no fear whatsoever. I think there were four or five times in the second half, he's got that Moussa Dembele trait, he uses his body to get away from stuff. Sometimes, yeah, it's risky but to show that at 18 and the personality and character, honestly, it's unbelievable."
Lewis-Skelly's talent and potential have not gone unnoticed, and it's clear that he has a bright future ahead of him. Even his rivals, such as Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall from Tottenham, have been making waves in the Premier League at just 18 years old. It's a testament to the fearlessness and determination of these young players, and Rice is thrilled to see them shining on the pitch.
As for Lewis-Skelly's chances of securing a spot in Thomas Tuchel's England squad, Rice believes that he has a strong chance. "He is a midfielder by trade, he can play No.6, No.8, obviously he's come into the team and played left-back, it suits him coming inside," Rice shared. "To know these roles and to understand what he's learning now at 18, it's unbelievable, it's only going to stand him in good stead."
It's clear that Lewis-Skelly has a bright future ahead of him, and Arteta also had nothing but praise for the young player. "Unbelievable... he was phenomenal today, I think," Arteta said. "He has a real personality, he has so much trust in himself, he has an attitude about him. You have to play against [Dejan] Kulusevski and [Brennan] Johnson here is not easy, the way he handled the situation and the occasion, it was top, I think."
Lewis-Skelly's impressive performance in the north London derby has solidified his place in the Arsenal squad and has given him a chance to shine on the international stage. It's clear that he has the potential to become a top player, and his fearlessness and determination will only continue to propel him towards success.
