Arsenal star sends title warning to teammates after crucial West Ham win

  • Arsenal are closing in on their first Premier League title since 2004, but young midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly insists the 'job is not done' yet, as he called on his teammates to “stay humble”.
  • The Gunners secured a crucial 1-0 victory against West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday, a match marked by a controversial VAR decision that disallowed a stoppage-time equaliser for the hosts, keeping Arsenal firmly in the driving seat in the title race.
  • Arsenal have two remaining league fixtures against already-relegated Burnley and Crystal Palace, with wins in both essential to fend off Manchester City's challenge.
  • Lewis-Skelly has made a significant return to Mikel Arteta’s starting XI in midfield after a challenging period on the fringes, attributing his resurgence to mental strength and a direct conversation with the manager.
  • Despite previous questions about his long-term future following a period out of the team, the 19-year-old Hale End Academy graduate reaffirmed his commitment to Arsenal, stating his focus is on bringing the club “back to glory”.
