Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has described his Gunners’ teammate Gabriel Martinelli as a “machine” on Instagram following the win against Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium in the North London derby on Saturday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal got the better of Tottenham 3-1 at home in the Premier League.

Former Manchester City striker Jesus scored for the Gunners in the 49th minute.

Fellow Brazil international Martinelli provided the assist for Granit Xhaka’s goal midway through the second half.

Quality player

In our view, Gabriel Martinelli is one of the best young players in Europe and is a key figure at Arsenal.

The 21-year-old has established himself in the Gunners’ starting lineup and is linking up well with fellow attacking players, such as Jesus.

Against Tottenham in the North London derby on Saturday afternoon, Martinelli got the better of Brazilian compatriot Emerson Royal, who was eventually sent off.

Martinelli was a constant threat for Tottenham from the left and had yet another brilliant game for Arsenal on a personal level.
