Tottenham legend accuses Arsenal's in-form star of diving amid Harry Kane comparisons

Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts has accused Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli of diving.

The Gunners played out a hugely-entertaining 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, a match that Martinelli thrived in, especially during the first-half. The 21-year-old broke the deadlock at Anfield early on, poking the ball past Reds goalkeeper Alisson before providing a brilliant cross for teammate Gabriel Jesus, who headed home to double the away side's advantage after 28 minutes.

However, Jurgen Klopp's men eventually fought back, with Mohamed Salah halving the deficit on the cusp of half-time before Roberto Firmino netted a late equaliser for the hosts. After the match, journalist Henry Winter praised the north London outfit for the respect they showed Liverpool regarding Hillsborough commemorations.
