Martin Odegaard shares how Myles Lewis-Skelly reacted after early PSV substitution and what Arsenal players now plan to do
Arsenal have one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals after running out 7-1 winners against PSV Eindhoven in their last-16 first leg in the Netherlands.
Jurrien Timber, Ethan Nwaneri and Mikel Merino all scored for Arsenal iওn the opening 45 minutes at the Philips Stadion, though Noa Lang also got on the scoresheet for PSV.
However, the Gunners ran riot in the second half as Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossardꦰ both struck in the first few minutes🔥 after the restart.
The Arsenal captain then added a sixth in the 73rd minute before Riccardo Calafiori 🃏made it 7-1 in the 85th minute of the match.
The only negative of sorts from the game was Myles Lewis-Skelly coming 🐽off inꩵ the first half after nearly getting himself sent off.
Lewis-Skelly was alr🧸eady on a yellow card when he brought down Richard Ledezma deep inside 🦩Arsenal’s half.
Referee Jesus Gil Manzano award⛎ed a free-kick for the challenge, but opted not to give Lewis-Skelly his marching orders.
Mikel Arteta op🐠ted to take no chances, replacing Lewis-Skelly with Calafiori in the 35th minute of the match.
Odeg𝄹aard, speaking after the game, shared how the Hale End graduate took the substitution and what the Gunners players plan to do in response.
Martin Odegaard says Arsenal players will help Myles Lewis-Skelly
Odegaard, speaking on , sﷺaid Lewis-Ske𝕴lly took his early substitution “really well”.
The teenager knew that it♋ was a “tricky” situation in wake of the challenge on Ledezma despite already being on a booking.
Odegaard then said Arꦆsenal’s players will help him overcome this latest setback, whꦆile stressing that he will learn from it too.
“Lewis-Skelly ✨took that [substitution] really well. He knew it was tricky, when you’re on a yellow and a tough challenge there.
“He took that well and w♑e will help him. He will learn from that as well.”
Lewis-Skelly was sent off against Wolver🐓hampton Wanderers earlier in the season, only for his ban to later beꦍ overturned.
However, he was then sent off against West Ham, picking ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚup a🔯 straight red for denial of a goalscoring opportunity when he brought down Mohammed Kudus.
How Lewis-Skelly fared against PSV
Although Lewis-S𓃲kelly was taken of♏f early on, he still did quite well otherwise.

Lewis-Skelly also made one clearance and was accurate with 16 of his 🦂18 pas💖ses on the night.
