Both players have endured a challenging season with their club as Arsenal chase the title, and giving both players minutes has proved difficult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Nwaneri has since left on loan and joined Marseille, where he is playing more regularly and scoring for the French side. Lewis-Skelly, however, has remained the third-choice left-back and found it tricky to get ahead of Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Yet this week, against the Moldova under-21s, both players showed their quality. England\u2019s first goal came after a great spin and turn from Lewis-Skelly, before his shot ricocheted to Nwaneri in the box, who finished with aplomb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">FOLLOW OUR ARSENAL FB PAGE! <\/strong><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\"><a aria-label=\"Latest Gunners news, analysis and much more via our dedicated Facebook pageLink opens in a new tab.\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AFCFootball.London#\" rel=\"nofollow\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_blank\">Latest Gunners news, analysis and much more via our dedicated Facebook page<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">A viral video did the rounds after Lewis-Skelly found a backheel pass into the box, only for the chance to then hit the side-netting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Nwaneri was then involved in England\u2019s second, Tyler Dibling, with a brilliant run and the cross eventually found the Arsenal man. His shot was blocked before Spurs\u2019 Archie Grey curled into the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Lewis-Skelly was heavily involved in the third, picking up the loose ball, beating two opposing players with some great touches before spotting the perfect pass to Nwaneri. The Marseille loanee took a first touch with his right foot, onto his left, before curling the ball beyond the keeper, whose touch couldn\u2019t stop it from hitting the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The fourth goal scored by Romain Esse saw the move start from left to right with Lewis-Skelly\u2019s inside pass to Fisher before King\u2019s ball into the box was headed in by the Crystal Palace talent. Overall, a great night for the two Arsenal starlets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Whether the performance catches the eye of either Mikel Arteta or Thomas Tuchel remains to be seen. However, it was an excellent night for both who needed some valuable game time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri put on a great performance to impress Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel as Arsenal and England careers could take new turn Ethan Nwaneri of England celebrates with Myles Lewis-Skelly after scoring a goal for England under-21s(Image: Izzy Poles &#8211; AMA\/Getty Images) Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri enjoyed a dream night [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportings.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
