Gary Lineker has backed Jurgen Klopp 's previous admission about Gabriel Martinelli after Liverpool 's 2-0 win over Arsenal on Wednesday night.
Despite a tough first half, Liverpool punished Arsenal with two quick-fire goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino to move within one point of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. In doing so, Arsenal's top-four hopes have been dented by Klopp's side.
A top-four place is still in the hands of Mikel Arteta's side but the pressure is on, although they only have themselves to blame after a poor second-half performance against the Reds. One shining light was Martinelli though, and Lineker has agreed with Klopp's views on the Brazilian.
