Mikel Arteta has lauded Gabriel Martinelli after another excellent performance in the Gunners' 3-1 win against Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
The Brazilian forward did not get on the scoresheet for Arsenal, but he was a constant threat with the ball at his feet and his driving runs into central areas caused concern for the Bees' defence. The Brazilian has now cemented his place in his side's starting XI this season, scoring three goals in the seven matches he has played so far.
Last season's trip to Brentford was a very different experience for Arsenal and their supporters, with Martinelli, Arteta and the rest of the team enduring a tricky evening under the lights in West London. They lost 2-0 that night, with the first game of the season representing a low point for the club.
