There were plainly scores to settle from the previous meeting, a desire for one-upmanship in an increasingly fractious rivalry and how Arsenal settled them. The moment of the match was provided by Myles Lewis‑Skelly; the image of it, too.
When the precociously talented 18-year-old scored with a curling shot for 3-1, crowning a driving performance, he sank into a meditative yoga pose that had previously been the copyright of Erling Haaland. What a way to score and celebrate your first senior goal.
