Arsenal kept their noses in front of Manchester City in the Premier League title race with another impressive away win.
Oliver Skipp is a professional English soccer player who plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
He went on to make his debut for the club two months after joining, and since signing in North London, Skipp had represented England under-21s for the first time.
More recently, the midfielder played a key role in Norwich City's return to the Premier League in 2020/21, representing the club on loan.
The midfielder came on for the last six minutes in his sides 3-1 EFL Cup victory over West Ham United. In that competition he would only play once more - appearing for a minute against Chelsea in the semi-final first leg.
