Arsenal Learn From Lewis-Skelly Celebration Ahead Man City Clash

Ahead of Arsenal's crucial Premier League match against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, manager Mikel Arteta reflected on the lessons learned from last season's tensions, particularly Myles Lewis-Skelly's imitation of Erling Haaland's celebration after scoring in Arsenal's 5-1 victory. The rivalry between the two sides has intensified, with Haaland previously telling Arteta to "stay humble" and questioning Lewis-Skelly's credentials during a heated 2-2 draw. Arteta emphasized that such moments are part of the learning process for his young squad, which currently sits second in the league with a strong defensive record. Arsenal's significant £250 million investment this season has bolstered their squad depth, with players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard pushing for starting roles. Despite recent absences due to injuries, Arteta remains optimistic about the team's prospects and the growth of his players from past experiences. The upcoming match is seen as a key test in Arsenal's pursuit of their first trophy since 2020.
