Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has slammed the club’s youngster, Myles Lewis-Skelly, following Bayern Munich’s equaliser through Lennart Karl in the Gunners’ 3-1 win over Bayern Munich.
He said the left-back fell asleep for the goal.
Jurrien Timber put the Gunners in front in the 22nd-minute and Bayern responded through 17-year-old attacker, Karl.
Noni Madueke restored Arsenal’s lead with a close range effort before Gabriel Martinelli put the game beyond the Germans in the 77th minute.
“Lewis-Skelly falls asleep. It’s a diagonal ball over to Gnabry but he falls asleep Lewis-Skelly, it goes over his head,” Merson said on Sky Sports.
“But what a goal, honestly!
“It goes over the top of Lewis-Skelly, Gnabry made a great run and he just plays a volley across the goal and there’s Karl who comes running in and smashes it in the net.
“It’s a phenomenal goal, a brilliant goal. Karl scores out of nothing. That’s what they’ve scored in their last 775 games!”
Arsenal maintained their 100 percent result in the Champions League with the victory over Bayern Munich.
Before yesterday’s victory, Arsenal has not beaten the Bundesliga giants in a decade.
