Lewis-Skelly gives Arteta selection headache before Atletico clash
Arsenal legend Paul Merson says Myles Lewis-Skelly has given manager Mikel Arteta a 'major, major headache' ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid. Lewis-Skelly impressed in Arsenal's 3-0 Premier League win over Fulham on Saturday, starting in central midfield with goals from Viktor Gyokeres (2) and Bukayo Saka. Merson praised the young midfielder's performance: 'He gave you that energy, he lifted everybody, he's come in and lifted everybody, he played on the front foot, he got close to people.' The first leg ended 1-1 in Spain last week, making Tuesday's match crucial for both teams. Arteta now faces a tactical dilemma with Lewis-Skelly's form creating selection questions for the knockout fixture.
