Many Arsenal fans are delighted with Gabriel Martinelli’s performance in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United today.
The Brazilian wonderkid has long been thought of as a big talent at the Emirates Stadium, and it’s only injuries that have really slowed him down in his career so far.

Mikel Arteta has also been a little slow to bring Martinelli back into the fold since his return to fitness, perhaps as he’s a little cautious about overplaying the 19-year-old too soon.
Still, it’s clear loads of Arsenal fans want to see more of Martinelli after his display in today’s win at St James’ Park.
The teenager produced a moment of sublime skill and generally looked one of the most lively of the team’s attacking players, picking up a fine assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as well.

Best we've played in ages. Completely controlled the game. Martinelli and Gabriel have to start more. Make a huge difference.
