Arsenal supporters loved Gabriel Martinelli’s debut and goal against Colorado Rapids - (2026)

MARTINELLI SCORES! 🔥

The 18-year-old has looked really promising in his first Arsenal appearance, and he's capped his fine display by flicking home Thompson's cross from close range to give us a third! 😎#ArsenalinUSA 🇺🇸 0-3 🔴 (61)

From what I have seen Gabriel Martinelli is a bit like Alexis Sanchez in terms of style not behaviour.

Was watching Arsenal’s pre season match last night & Martinelli actually looks decent

Martinelli's goal though. A striker's goal. If you can't chest the ball, hit the ball hard with it and get on target. I like that

Who needs Zaha and Malcom when they've got Saka and Martinelli?💉💉

Martinelli is 100% 1st team quality on the wings

Gabriel Martinelli scored his first goal for Arsenal last night with his chest. It’s important not to overreact, because it was only one game against a poor Colorado Rapids side, but he’s the best thing to come out of Brazil since Ronaldo Nazário.

Martinelli’s work rate is fantastic. Constantly tracking back to help Jenkinson while being more than comfortable linking up play with the attack.

Martinelli should have done better with his shot early on but one thing that is noticeable about him is his eagerness to track back and defend.

Martinelli is a BALLER

Martinelli’s work rate is MAD

That was a decent run out for the players, Saka was my MOTM, Martinelli had a good debut, and Kolasinac showed why we desperately need to sign Tierney.
