Premier League may consider rule change following Myles Lewis-Skelly’s celebration in Arsenal vs Man City

The Premier League may consider a rule change following Myles Lewis-Skelly’s celebration mocking Erling Haaland.

Lewis-Skelly was excellent against Mancꦆhester City as he netted his first senior goal ꧅and celebrated by imitating Haaland’s medi꧒tating pose.

In the aftermath of the previous meeting between the Gunners and the Premier League champions, Haaland sarcastically asked Lewis-Skelly, “Who are you?” before telling Mikel Arteta to “stay humble”.

Well, following a 5-1 thrashing by Arsenal and his celebration being nabbed, Haalan🌼d certainly knows who the talented teenager is now, but the inciden𒈔t could bring about change.

Myles Lewis-Skelly’s Haaland celebration could bring about a rule change

are reporting that the Premier Le♕ague may consider changing tꦐhe rules to prevent players from mocking others when they celebrate.

This follows Myles Lewis-Skelly mimicking Erling Haaland’s celebration and Iliman Ndiaye being bo♚oked for doing a Seag🐷ull impression after scoring against Brighton.

Following a fair amount of debate this week, Ian Wright says he can’t understand Lewis Skelly♔ receiving backlash for the incident.

Meanwhile, the Premier League’s chief football officer, Tony Scholes, told Sky Sports that there needs to 🌟be a balance between having fun and mockery: “There’s a balance. I think we all like t🥂o see celebrations.

“Some of the celebrat♉ions have been very funny, entertaining, but there’s a line. Once it crosses over into mockery or criticism then ꦓwe would need to deal with it.”

Pep Guardiola had no issues with Lewis-Skelly’s celebration so why should we?

Pep Guardiola didn’t seem to have an issue with Lewis-Skelly’s celebration and had very 𒁏little to say about the incident in hi🌌s presser.

Speaܫking🍸 after the match, Guardiola told the media: “I didn’t see that! That’s good……… That’s good,” before getting up and leaving the press conference.

Haaland seemed to thrive off the battle with Arsenal’s players having also had Gabriel Magalhaes celebrate right in his face fol💃lowing the opener.

The Norwegian also gave it back after the game as he poi▨nted to his gold Premier League champion patch which all made for a very entertaining spectacle.
