Breaking down the 'Myles Lewis-Skelly Clapped did not clap for Liverpool' narrative
Some people on the Internet have too much free time on their hands.
Speculation swirled online after some claimed that Myles Lewis-Skelly refused to clap during Liverpool's guard of honour against Arsenal at Anfield at the moment.
The moment, intended to celebrate Liverpool's Premier League title win under Arne Slot, had already sparked similar criticism of Chelsea's Noni Madueke the previous week.
Critics alleged that Lewis-Skelly kept his hands clasped and failed to show respect, fuelling an online backlash.
However, new video footage has now surfaced clearly showing the 18-year-old clapping alongside teammates Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey.
Supporters on social media highlighted how the false claims quickly spread without anyone verifying the facts.
While Lewis-Skelly's clapping may have been understated, the footage confirms he did participate in the tribute, debunking the narrative that he showed disrespect.
