Eagle-eyed fans have spotted what Myles Lewis-Skelly did differently to his Arsenal teammates during the guard of honour ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. The Gunners were forced to pay their respects to this season's champions, with Mikel Arteta's men seemingly set for a third successive term as runners-up after falling behind Arne Slot's champions.
While pundits and fans alike have debated on whether or not they would clap Liverpool onto the field if they were in the same position, the visitors did line up at Anfield to welcome the Reds. However, some supporters have noticed that teenager Lewis-Skelly went about the guard of honour in a slightly different way to most.

As footage of the guard of honour emerged online, fans were quick to spot the moment that the camera glanced towards Lewis-Skelly's direction, where the young full-back was seen not clapping the Liverpool players onto the pitch like the rest of his teammates.
While the rest of the Arsenal squad were seen showing their respects, the starlet was instead clasping his hands while watching his opponents enter the field.
Reaction to Lewis-Skelly's snub was strong online, with several Liverpool fans condemning the wonderkid for his actions. One fan said: "Lewis-Skelly not clapping. Teenager or not, that's extremely strange, needs to learn to be humble and show respect," while another added: "Lewis-Skelly didn't clap... Lol I've always known he was arrogant but I didn't know he lacked respect. He needs to grow up."
It was not a great first-half display for Lewis-Skelly or the rest of the Arsenal team, who went 2-0 down thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. However, they were back on terms by the 70th minute as strikes from Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino pulled them level.
