Arsenal Thrash Man City 5-1 as Lewis-Skelly Mocks Haaland’s 'Stay Humble' Comment

Arsenal delivered a statement win, thrashing reigning champions Manchester City 5-1 in a dominant display. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring before Thomas Partey doubled the lead. However, the highlight of the match was Martinelli celebrating in Erling Haaland’s face, seemingly in response to Haaland’s famous "Stay humble, eh?" quote.

Tensions between the two sides date back to last season when City drew 2-2 with Arsenal.

 After the match, Haaland was seen telling Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta to "stay humble," a statement that did not sit well with the Arsenal players. At the time, young midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly had stepped in to defend his coach, only for Haaland to ask "Who the fuck are you?"

This time, the 19-year-old got his revenge by scoring against City and mimicking Haaland’s signature celebration.His reaction symbolized Arsenal’s dominance on the night, as they overpowered Pep Guardiola’s side.
