100% tackles won, 100% dribbles completed: Arsenal star’s insane performance might’ve been even better than Rice
Declan Rice stole the show for Arsenal last night with two stunning free-kicks in a famous 3-0 win over Real Madrid.
However, there were heroes for Arsenal in pretty much every position, and another player who really stepped up in this big game was 18-year-old left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Lewis-Skelly has also already worked his way into the England squad, and scored on his debut for the national team last month.
It’s been a season to remember for Lewis-Skelly, and he put in another absolutely superb performance last night against arguably the best club side in the world.
See below for some of the numbers Lewis-Skelly produced last night, with his performance arguably even better than two-goal hero Rice…
But it’s about more than just numbers with Lewis-Skelly, who is also just a joy to watch with the way he carries the ball with such confidence.
And for one so young, he plays with a remarkable composure and always seems to get his decision-making spot on.
It will be interesting to see how Lewis-Skelly and the others can perform when they take on Real Madrid in what will surely be an entirely different challenge for the second leg at the Bernabeu next week.
