      Arsenal fans can’t believe what Myles Lewis-Skelly’s mum said before Man City clash as heartwarming interview goes viral

      by

      MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY was the talk of the Premier League after his starring display for Arsenal against Manchester City.The 18-year-old put in a performance well beyond his years as he scored his first Gunners goal in the 5-1 thrashing, while also getting a dig in at Erling Haaland.Myles Lewis-Skelly’s mum, Marcia, gave a heartwarming interview about her son before Arsenal v Man CityCredit: tiktokBut one comment she made left fans in uproarCredit: ReutersLewis-Skelly did Erling Haaland’s celebration after scoring against Man CityCredit: GettyHaaland had famously told Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to “stay humble” after their 2-2 draw at the Etihad earlier this season, before later exchanging words with Lewis-Skelly.However, the Hale End graduate got his own back on Sunday as he scored a stunning goal before he then celebrated using Haaland’s signature “meditating” celebration.Fans loved the show of mind games from Lewis-Skelly.But a stunning interview before the game with his mum, Marcia, has now gone viral.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLSpeaking to doseofsociety on TikTok, Marcia was asked to say something the interviewer wouldn’t believe about her.She responded by saying her son was going to play against City on Sunday, before her answer about what it is like to be the mother of a professional footballer stunned fans.Marcia, who is also the agent of Lewis-Skelly, said: “[It’s] Busy, but still a mother.”I think if you get the right people and the right family support then anything’s possible.”Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSShe continued: “Gratitude is important, stay humble, stay grounded as a family and keep the right people around you.”The context of the “stay humble” comment riled up the Arsenal faithful given how they were relishing feeding Haaland and co. dose after dose of humble pie.Arsenal player ratings vs Man City – articleReacting on social media, one fan said: “She even said stay humble.”A second said: “Stay humble eh? Love it mama.”A third added: “She said stay humble, is that a dig at Haaland?”Another said: “She’s brilliant.”A fifth said: “God bless you. She’s sooo grounded.”Devoted Marcia put herself through a Masters degree in football business at University before passing Fifa’s football agent exam.Her master’s thesis was on the parent experience in youth football where she interviewed 18 parents with children aged 15 to 21 and found four recurring problems.To that end, Marcia also aims to help and support other parents going through similar experiences.The scheme, known as the No1 Fan Club, includes various resources, a community chat network, workshops and even a book club – all tailored towards providing wisdom, education and support for parents.And in her viral interview before the City game, Marcia also took the chance to promote the scheme.She said: “Get the support you need. We do that, we have a platform to support parents who are navigating youth football. We’re here to support you parents.”Lewis-Skelly has been a shining light for the Gunners this season, stepping into defence seamlessly from the academy.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe has now made 19 appearances for the senior team, with his first goal being scored against City.His exploits look set to fast-track him into Thomas Tuchel’s senior England team.Arsenal player ratings vs Man CityARSENAL stunned Man City 5-1 at the Emirates on Sunday evening.It was an incredible result against their rivals of recent years.Here, we take a look at how the Gunners rated…David Raya – 7/10Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol. Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland’s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores.Jurrien Timber – 6Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half.William Saliba – 5Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all his aerial battles in the first 45 minutes. Marshalled the defence well early in the second period but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser – a major flaw of his that continues to be exposed.Gabriel Magalhaes – 6Like his defensive partner, he was seldom called into action in the first half. Dominant in the air in his battles with Haaland, who he trolled after Odegaard’s goal.Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years as he brilliantly floated between left back and midfield. Put real daylight between the two sides with a thumping finish just after the hour mark. This young lad is a real bright prospect for both the Gunners and England.His trolling of Haaland by copying the Norwegian’s ‘Lotus’ celebration went down a storm with fans.Thomas Partey – 7Steady in the heart of midfield and broke up play well when required. Fired the Gunners back into the lead in the 57th minute with a deflected shot from outside the box.Martin Odegaard – 7Was in the right place at the right time to benefit from the aftermath of an uncharacteristic Manuel Akanji error and break the deadlock. Was at the heart of everything good the north Londoners did going forward.Declan Rice – 6Combative, as always, in the middle of the park and played a role in the home side taking the lead, teeing up Havertz who squared the ball to Odegaard.Leandro Trossard – 6Was particularly lively on the left in the first half, giving Matheus Nunes a real run for his money. His end product, however, wasn’t the best.Gabriel Martinelli – 6Lively on the right wing in the early goings. Found the back of the net in the fifth minute after some beautiful play from Odegaard but was needlessly offside. Forced a good save out of Ortega with a rasping effort in the 68th minute.Kai Havertz – 6Lively early doors, testing Stefan Ortega with a tame shot in the first minute. Teed up Odegaard for a tap in a few moments later. Missed a golden opportunity to double the lead in the 25th minute, dragging the ball wide with the goal at his absolute mercy. Made amends for his howler by finishing an even harder chance in the 76th minute. He well and truly needed that as he looked absolutely devoid of confidence.SUBSEthan Nwaneri – 83 (on for Trossard) – 7Put the cherry on top of the cake with an outrageous effort in second-half stoppage time.Mikel Merino – 83 (on for Odegaard) – 5Raheem Sterling – 89 (on for Kai Havertz ) – N/ARiccardo Calafiori 89 (on for Lewis-Skelly) – N/ARead more on all the latest Arsenal news.Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme – Sun Club.
