Gabriel Martinelli tore three Liverpool players apart in sensational display in Arsenal victory

Gabriel Martinelli - what a player. The Brazilian was at his scintillating best on Sunday afternoon as he scored one goal and set up another in only Arsenal's second win over Liverpool in the top flight since 2015.

Martinelli tore away to score the opener in just 57 seconds at the Emirates Stadium, setting the tone for a pulsating clash between the two sides. While Darwin Nunez equalised, Martinelli then turned provider to hit Liverpool with a sucker punch right on half-time, playing the ball across goal for Bukayo Saka to tap home.

Roberto Firmino came off the bench to equalise again, but after Gabriel Jesus was fouled in the box, Saka scored a late penalty to win all three points. The result means Arsenal have lost just once this season and moved back to the top of the Premier League table, a point ahead of Manchester City.
