Making his North London Derby debut as the first 18-year-old to start in the fixture since Cesc Fabregas in 2005, Myles Lewis-Skelly certainly rose to the occasion.

Tasked with keeping Dejan Kulusevski, and later Brennan Johnson, quiet, he did a great job and limited the pair to posing little threat. Lewis-Skelly also contributed in attack, playing the inverted left back role and linking up with his teammates well. With a 94% pass accuracy, he was the most accurate passer to play 45 minutes or more.

The academy left back capped off his performance with a yellow card after tussling with the Spurs players during a corner. As he walked off the pitch he was applauded by fans for his standout performance.
