Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has heaped praises on striker Gabriel Martinelli after the Brazilian youngster scored his premier league goal in the gunners 1-1 draw against Sheffield United on Saturday.

Martinelli started for Arteta’s men in the absence of captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was serving a three match ban.

The 18 year old fired Arsenal infront just before half time, but John Fleck scored a late equaliser for the visitors at the Emirates stadium.

Martinelli is all the time in the middle of the goal, waiting for an opportunity to come-Arteta.

Arsenal will face Chelsea tonight in their next Premier fixture on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
