Gabriel Martinelli has reacted to Arsenal’s victory over Leeds United tonight on Twitter.

The Gunners hammered Marcelo Bielsa’s outfit 4-1 at Elland Road to open up a four-point gap in fourth place in the Premier League.

Martinelli was the star of the show for Arsenal, scoring a brilliant first-half double to send Mikel Arteta’s side well on their way.

Here’s how the 20-year-old Brazilian sensation reacted to the victory on Twitter after the contest.

Record holder

Martinelli opened the scoring with a brilliantly-taken curling effort that left the Leeds goalkeeper, Illan Meslier, with no chance.

In doing so, that goal happened to be Arsenal’s 7,000th top-flight goal, which forever puts the South American into the history books.

However, there is every chance that he’s going to set more records throughout his whole stay in North London.

As proven again tonight, the Arsenal attacker is such an electrifying player on his day and it’s a joy to watch him in this sort of mood.

In addition to that, his second had shades of a certain Thierry Henry, latching on to a defence-splitting pass from Granit Xhaka before nonchalantly dinking the Leeds United goalkeeper.

Indeed, Martinelli has a glowingly-bright future at the Emirates Stadium and with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in exile, these heroics are precisely what the Gunners need.
