"Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has been heavily criticised for pushing Liverpool's Conor Bradley off the pitch while he was badly injured. The Reds right-back ended up having to be stretchered off at the Emirates Stadium, but it seems that Martinelli initially shoved him as he thought he was time-wasting towards the end of the game. Martinelli is now being criticised by journalists on X for his shocking behaviour towards Bradley, whose injury proved to look pretty serious."
"That is shocking from Martinelli. Bradley clearly in pain. Didn't need pushing off the pitch by Martinelli. Bradley now going off on a stretcher. Martinelli should feel ashamed of himself. #ARSLIV Henry Winter (@henrywinter) January 8, 2026"
"Martinelli is a fine player on his day but he didn't show the best side of himself here, and it perhaps shows that Arsenal were slightly rattled by Liverpool this evening."
Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli shoved Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley near the touchline while Bradley was injured. Bradley required a stretcher and was taken off at the Emirates Stadium. Martinelli appeared to push Bradley because he believed Bradley was time-wasting late in the match. Journalists and pundits on X strongly criticised Martinelli's conduct, calling the action shocking, disgraceful, and appalling. Several commentators said there was no need to push an injured opponent. The severity of Bradley's injury and the expected recovery time remain unclear.
