Celebrate Lewis-Skelly as Arsenal's arch antagonist

Goading Haaland is pure theatre - but will he come to regret it?

There was a glorious level of needle to Arsenal's meeting with Manchester City in north London last weekend, which cemented the fixture as the fiercest and most bitter rivalry in English football and therefore appointment viewing for all supporters.

From Erling Haaland pointing out his Premier League winners' badge to Gabriel Magalhães, to Myles LewisSkelly imitating the Norwegian's goal celebration, the occasion was dripping with antagonism, making for one of the best-ever atmospheres at the Emirates. As Arsenal's players and fans celebrated a 5-1 win, there was joy at a shift in the balance of power between the clubs, relief at a statement result in the title race and schadenfreude about City's continued demise.

There are many elements of the match-up that make for a great rivalry, not least Mikel Arteta's Darth Vader-like rejection of his former mentor, Pep Guardiola, for a seeming pursuit of glory via a different means.
