Myles Lewis-Skelly scored for Arsenal in Sunday's clash against Manchester City, just four months after being mocked by Erling Haaland on his Premier League debut.
The 18-year-old full-back, who has established himself as a first-team regular at Arsenal this season, netted for Mikel Arteta's side as they smashed five goals past Pep Guardiola's men.
It has been a superb campaign for the fearless teenager, who made headlines in September for picking up a yellow card before he played a single minute of Premier League football.

On that day, Lewis-Skelly made his much-anticipated league debut for the Gunners.
And after the full-time whistle, the youngster stepped in front of teammate Gabriel as he engaged in a furious argument with Erling Haaland following a late equaliser from John Stones.
In fact, the Norwegian striker turned to Lewis-Skelly and asked "who the f*** are you" before continuing to scuffle with Polish defender Jakub Kiwior.
Fast forward four months and Lewis-Skelly got his revenge by performing Haaland's iconic meditation celebration, moments after scoring his first Arsenal goal to make it 3-1 to the home side.
As a result, he became the youngest player to score in the Premier League against the reigning champions since Wayne Rooney for Everton against Arsenal in March 2003.

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the scenes.
One said: "Haaland was asking “who are you” to Myles Lewis-Skelly last time Arsenal and Man City played. This time Myles Lewis-Skelly scores and does his celebration. S***house. I love him."
A second wrote: "Lewis-Skelly pulling this celebration out after Haaland said that to him at The Etihad is the sort of pettiness I can get behind."
A third commented: "A reminder Haaland asked him “Who the f*** are you?” during the first game between them earlier this season… NOW HE KNOWS. MLS IS HIM."

A fourth said: "Don’t underestimate the significance of this moment. This is the birth of a true phenom. Remember Saka Rashford cell vs United. MLS has arrived!!!!! Cold blooded just like Bukayo," and a fifth added: "My king."
