Don Hutchinson has praised Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli on PremierLeague.com for his goal against Leicester City in the opening minute of the second half of the Premier League match at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The former Liverpool and Everton player was hugely impressed by the way Martinelli took his goal for Arsenal against Leicester.

The Brazil international broke the deadlock in the game just moments into the second half.

Belgium international winger Leandro Trossard slipped in the 21-year-old, and the Arsenal star finished brilliantly.

Pundit Hutchinson noted that Martinelli changed in the second half with his decisions after struggling in the opening minutes.

Hutchinson said: “What a brilliant finish it was from Martinelli. He had plenty of the ball in the first half but didn’t quite make the right decisions on one or two occasions but that time he was direct.”

Impressive

In our view, Gabriel Martinelli’s goal for Arsenal against Leicester City in the opening minute of the second half was brilliant.

It reminded us a bit of how Arsenal legend Thierry Henry used to score.

The Brazilian has not exactly been in great form in recent weeks.

However, the way he took his goal so early in the second half against the Foxes was brilliant and showed the kind of player he is.
