Yannick Bolasie has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli getting sent off against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Martinelli was in action for Arsenal in the Premier League game against Wolves away from home at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
Defender Gabriel found the back of the net in the 25th minute for Arsenal.
The Arsenal defender’s Brazilian compatriot Martinelli could not finish the game.
That’s because Martinelli was sent off in the 69th minute after getting two yellow cards in the space of just seconds.
As reported by The Sun, the Brazilian petulantly tried to block a throw-in from being taken, pushing taker Daniel Podence.
Then moments later Martinelli committed a needless foul on Chiquinho, prompting referee Michael Oliver to blow his whistle.
Oliver showed the forward a yellow card for the incident on Podence and a second yellow card for his foul on Chiquinho.
And former Everton and Crystal Palace winger Bolasie, now at Turkish club Caykur Rizespor, is not happy.
Disappointing for Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli
In our view, Martinelli should be – and probably will be – disappointed for the manner in which he got sent off for Arsenal against Wolves.
Now, we understand that Martinelli was getting frustrated.
However, there was no need for the Brazilian forward to commit the foul on Chiquinho.
It was not a goalscoring situation.
In our opinion, Martinelli should have kept his cool and not barged into Chiquinho.
