Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Gabriel Martinelli against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in the Carabao Cup on Thursday evening.
Arsenal have suffered a 2-0 defeat to Premier League rivals Liverpool at home in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final tie this evening.
Diogo Jota scored both the goals for Liverpool, who have progressed to the final of the competition.
Portugal international forward Jota found the back of the net first in the 19th minute and then on 77 minutes.
Arsenal were disappointing on the night, but one player who did well was Martinelli.
The Brazilian forward started on the left of an attacking four behind lone striker Alexandre Lacazette and was one of the very few Arsenal players who did well.
Martinelli did cause problems for Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the first half and was always looking to make things happen for Arsenal.
The 20-year-old took two shots and one was on target, had a pass accuracy of 80%, won two headers, took 53 touches, attempted four dribbles, made two tackles and one clearance, and put in six crosses.
