"Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli was on the scoresheet once again, but his late contribution was not enough to secure all three points for Mikel Arteta's side. The Brazilian attacker, who came off the bench, shared his thoughts with BBC Match of the Day after the game, admitting that while he was happy to score, the team felt disappointed not to come away with a victory. Martinelli also mentioned how he is not happy as a substitute and wants to enjoy more playing time."
"Martinelli's strike gave them hope, but it wasn't enough to swing the result in their favour. The Brazilian was quick to praise his teammate for the assist. I saw Ebs [Eberechi Eze] getting the ball and I tried to make eye contact with him and once the ball was open, I made the movement and it was a great ball from him. I just tried to put it in the back of the net."
"I work for those moments. I leave [selection] for the gaffer, he knows what he does. I just do my best to help this football club. Of course, I don't want to be on the bench. I want to play 90 minutes every single game but Arteta knows what he does, he's the gaffer and everyone trusts him. We're really happy with him."
