Arsenal's thrilling 1-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday has brought the Premier League title tantalizingly close, but young midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly is keeping his feet firmly on the ground. "The job is not done," he warned, as the Gunners edge toward their first league crown since the historic Invincibles season of 2003-04.
The dramatic win at the London Stadium was not without controversy—West Ham had a stoppage-time equalizer ruled out by VAR, a decision that sent shockwaves through the stands and kept Arsenal's destiny in their own hands. With just two matches remaining, the pressure is mounting, but the squad's focus is razor-sharp.
Next up is a home clash against already-relegated Burnley on Monday, followed by a season finale away at Crystal Palace, who are preparing for the Conference League final. Two wins would not only secure the title ahead of Manchester City but also set the stage perfectly for a Champions League final showdown against PSG on May 30.
Lewis-Skelly, who has battled back into Mikel Arteta's starting XI after a spell on the sidelines, embodies the team's resilient spirit. "We have to stay humble," he said. "The dressing room is pure joy and excitement—we're buzzing. But we know there's work to do. We've got two more finals, starting with Burnley."
The 19-year-old's journey this season has been a testament to mental toughness. After a breakthrough campaign last year, he found himself out of favor at left-back as Riccardo Calafiori and loan signing Piero Hincapie took the spotlight. But an opportunity in midfield against Fulham earlier this month changed everything, and he hasn't looked back since.
"It was tough initially," Lewis-Skelly admitted, reflecting on his time out of the team. "But I pride myself on mental strength. Sport isn't a straight line—there are ups and downs. What matters is how you respond."
For Arsenal fans dreaming of ending a two-decade title drought, the message is clear: stay grounded, stay focused, and take it one game at a time. The finish line is in sight, but the final sprint demands everything they've got.
