Myles Lewis Skelly declares task unfinished amid Arsenals drive for Premier League crown

Arsenals squad edged nearer to claiming the English top flight trophy for the first time in two decades after securing a narrow 1 0 triumph over West Ham on Sunday though not before the home team saw a last gasp leveller disallowed after an extended VAR examination.

The result positioned Arsenal five points ahead of runners up Manchester City with just two fixtures remaining domestically at home against doomed Burnley and then on the road to Crystal Palace prior to their showdown with Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League decider on 30 May.

We must remain grounded remarked the young sensation Lewis Skelly who has returned to the first team fold after a lengthy spell on the bench this term.

The locker room is filled with pure delight thrill and satisfaction all you could imagine he described. We are energised yet aware the work remains incomplete.

We face two additional crucial domestic clashes against Burnley and Palace and must approach them one by one. Burnley comes next and we build from that point.

As team members and as a supporter myself its tempting to daydream about possibilities. However staying present is key. We need to keep focused.

Lewis Skelly had a standout year previously but found it hard to earn a spot in boss Mikel Artetas plans until an opportunity arose versus Fulham earlier this month and he has featured from the start ever since.

Early on it was challenging he admitted.

Yet I take pride in my resilience. Athletics involves peaks and troughs not a straight line. Its your response to setbacks and handling tough times that shapes your character.

I confided in my relatives and mates. I said ignore the social media chatter. Allow me to confront this challenge head on and emerge stronger.

He Arteta instructed me to take the midfield role so I embraced it fully. I needed to be daring and fearless as that is what this competition requires he concluded.
