What Myles Lewis-Skelly Was Spotted Doing During Arsenal’s Guard of Honour for Liverpool

Myles Lewis-Skelly Sparks Debate With Guard of Honour Snub Before Liverpool Clash

Sharp-eyed fans noticed something unusual about Myles Lewis-Skelly’s behavior during Arsenal’s guard of honour for Liverpool ahead of their Premier League showdown on Sunday. As the Gunners prepared to acknowledge the newly crowned champions, it was clear that the young star’s actions stood out from those of his teammates.

While the Arsenal squad lined up and clapped Liverpool onto the pitch at Anfield, Lewis-Skelly chose not to applaud. Instead, the teenager kept his hands clasped and watched in silence as Virgil van Dijk led his team out, a move that didn’t go unnoticed.

Footage of the moment quickly spread online, prompting criticism from some Liverpool supporters. One wrote, “Teenager or not, that’s just disrespectful—he needs to learn humility,” while another accused him of arrogance, saying, “I always thought he had an ego, but this confirms it.”

The incident added an extra layer of drama to the match, which saw Arsenal fall 2-0 behind in the first half through goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. However, the Gunners clawed their way back with second-half strikes from Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino to earn a 2-2 draw.
