The best moment of this fun, boisterous, increasingly hallucinogenic afternoon for Arsenal’s supporters came with the game still in the balance, and with Manchester City yet to collapse like an inadequately constructed French meringue. It came, of course, from the prodigiously talented Myles Lewis‑Skelly. Although it wasn’t perhaps the obvious one.
With 62 minutes gone at the Emirates Stadium, Lewis‑Skelly took a sharp pass from Declan Rice and twirled inside with an easy kind of grace, one of those players who just seems to have that naturally intimate relationship with the ball.
