Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta were left hailing Gabriel Martinelli after the Brazilian stole the show in Arsenal ’s memorable victory over Liverpool at the weekend.
The Gunners continued their near-flawless start to the campaign against the stuttering Reds with a 3-2 win at the Emirates Stadium. Brazilian forward Martinelli gave the hosts the perfect start as he swept home the opener in less than a minute.
Following Roberto Firmino ’s equaliser, the Arsenal youngster then played a role in his side regaining the lead by teeing up Bukayo Saka. Gunners boss Arteta was full of praise for the performance of the 21-year-old and pointed to his impressive development over the last 12 months.
