Gabriel Martinelli has struck in injury time to give Arsenal back their lead over Crystal Palace.
The Gunners had started the match brightly, but as usual our level dropped enough to give our opponents an opening, and the Eagles didn’t need telling twice.
Christian Benteke levelled the scores in the second half, and their side continually to push up in search of a winner, but it was us who found the net.
HUGE GOAL FOR ARSENAL!! 😲

Would it be fair to describe the goal as against the run of play?
Patrick
Auba is currently a phantom of his old self..
Martinelli should be a starter vs Brighton based on his energy, skills, killer instinct, no fear approach…
But he won’t be of course.
MA said Gabs is ‘very close’ to starting 😳
Shout out to Gabriel Martinelli!!🙌
Your hustling spirit won us this Match!!
Also Pepe, Odergaard and Mostly Gabriel Maghalles was immerse!!
Gabriel ran after and stopped Zaha wen he was thru on goal.
Zaha would have scored to make d game theirs!!
A nice win for Arsenal..😊🙂
Pepe should do this on a regular basis
I have to say Martinelli is one heck of a player. 200% every time. I can see him becoming an Arsenal hero….if Arteta doesn’t squeeze the creative juices out of him.
Why is Arteta even playing a totally out of form Auba and even more surprising, the whole game?
Once again, Arteta’s inexperience clearly on display. Game plan…. Defend a one goal lead (one goal lead has never been enough for Arsenal and all opposition know that) at the expense of killing the game off. Then he waits until the 75th minute to make the changes that should have happened around the 60th minute. Crazy, when the fans see things before the manager.
The return of Thiery Henry is soon through Martinelli. our hero!
I love martinelli
