Eagle-eyed fans spot Erling Haaland’s subtle dig at Myles Lewis-Skelly after Arsenal kid’s red card vs West Ham

MANCHESTER CITY superstar Erling Haaland appears to have trolled Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly as their bitter feud continues.

Haaland, 24, sparked quite an intense rivalry with the Gunners in September when City drew 2-2 with their unlikely rivals at the Etihad.

The star striker scored the opener and threw the ball at opponent Gabriel Magalhaes’ head after John Stones’ last-gasp equaliser.

After the full-time whistle, the Norway international got into an angry spat with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and told him to “stay humble”.

That sparked a feisty confrontation with the North Londoners’ Gabriel Jesus, who tried to calm Haaland down.

Lewis-Skelly, 18, also got involved in the confrontation after his debut and drew the ire of the Norwegian star who looked at him with disdain before mouthing off: “Who the f**k are you?”

The versatile defender got some revenge in the second leg earlier this month as he helped Arsenal pick up a dominant 5-1 victory over the reigning Premier League champions.

Lewis-Skelly scored his team’s third goal and mocked Haaland by mimicking his signature meditation celebration.

Arsenal used that win to get even with the outspoken Man City star, who was booed by the home crowd throughout the match.

Gabriel also laughed at his face after Martin Odegaard’s opener and the Emirates’ DJ played Kendrick Lamar’s 2017 track HUMBLE at full-time.

But now the pendulum has swung back in Haaland’s favour after the Gunners’ title hopes were dealt a devastating blow on Saturday.

Arteta’s side lost 1-0 to London rivals West Ham at home and failed to cut the deficit with leaders Liverpool down to five points.

And Lewis-Skelly suffered a day to forget as he was sent off for a foul on Mohammed Kudus.

The Arsenal academy graduate was initially shown a yellow card but a VAR review upgraded the card as he was deemed to have denied Kudus a goalscoring opportunity and was given his marching orders.

Some West Ham fans decided to rub salt into their rivals’ wounds by imitating Haaland’s meditation celebration outside the Emirates in an apparent attempt to mock Lewis-Skelly.

The Hammers’ supporters posted the pic on Instagram and the ex-Borussia Dortmund star “liked” it.

Haaland appears to have taken one more swipe at Arsenal after the stick he took in north London.

However, it is also possible the ex-Red Bull Salzburg star was just pleased to see fans paying tribute to his celebration…
