Miles Lewis-Skelly has somewhat forgotten about the rules of football.
The match in the third round of the main part of the Champions League between Shakhtar and Arsenal ended in victory for the British with a score of 1:0.
The outcome of the meeting was decided by the own goal of the Pitmen goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk, who found himself a hostage in the situation, unable to influence it.
But this was not the only funny moment that occurred in this match.

20 minutes before the end of the match, Riccardo Calafiori was injured. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has decided to replace Italian Miles Lewis-Skelly.
But the 18-year-old Englishman’s appearance on the field was somewhat delayed. The problem is that the football player forgot to remove the earring from his ear before proceeding to the replacement.
Because of this, the referee did not allow him to enter the field, although Calafiori was already in the stands.
