Arsenal teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly has angered Liverpool fans by not participating in a guard of honour in exactly the manner they would have liked.
Liverpool confirmed their second title of the Premier League era by thrashing Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last month and have been welcomed to the pitch through a guard of honour from their opponents for subsequent games.
But Lewis-Skelly. like Chelsea’s Noni Madueke, elected not to buy into the overblown show of respect.
As the Reds entered the field for this afternoon’s Premier League meeting with second-placed Arsenal at Anfield, the 18-year-old appeared not to be clapping.
His gesture or lack thereof was immediately picked up on social media, where Liverpool fans lambasted him for snubbing their heroes.
“Lewis-Skelly u won’t go far with that attitude. I am 100% sure u will be forgotten soon,” parped one fan who’s definitely been to Anfield on X, formerly Twitter.
“Lewis-Skelly didn’t clap during the guard of honor but I was told he’s just a very humble young lad,” mused another.
Elsewhere, Arsenal fans were asking the real questions. One asked: “Can Liverpool fans ever focus on themselves? They have just won the prem and they care more about if 18 year old Lewis-Skelly claps them. Just celebrate your title man.”
