“I’m happy to be back to my goalscoring form, but please let’s give this guy his flowers for helping us secure a draw at least last night “- Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli makes a ‘best in the world’ claim on his underrated Arsenal teammate

“I am pleased to have returned to my goalscoring form; however, let us acknowledge this individual for his contribution in securing at least a draw last night.”Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli asserts that his underappreciated colleague is among the ‘best in the world.’

Gabriel Martinelli has confidence that Myles Lewis-Skelly will emerge as one of the world’s premier players following Arsenal’s unsatisfactory 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.

The Gunners’ pursuit of the Premier League crown suffered a significant setback after relinquishing a two-goal advantage over Unai Emery’s team.

Martinelli sent Arsenal into the lead during the first half, followed by Kai Havertz who augmented the home team’s advantage 10 minutes after the break.

However, Villa equalised merely four minutes later via Youri Tielemans, with Ollie Watkins securing an equaliser for the visitors.

A state of profound shock Arsenal sought a decisive goal after Watkins’ strike in the 68th minute, and Havertz believed he had achieved it when he redirected Mikel Merino’s drive with three minutes left.

However, Havertz was deemed to have utilised his arm while directing the ball, leading VAR to disallow his goal.

Arsenal faced a harsh reality as Liverpool scored twice late against Brentford, so increasing their lead at the summit.

Mikel Arteta found solace in Lewis-Skelly’s performance, who delivered an exceptional display as a temporary left-back and nearly facilitated the winning goal for Leandro Trossard in injury time.

“We hold him in high regard,” stated Martinelli when enquired about the 18-year-old. He is exceptionally talented, a prodigy.

We have confidence in him. I believe he will become one of the world’s premier players in the future.

In light of relinquishing two crucial points under distressing conditions, Martinelli remarked: ‘It’s a disappointing day.’ We aspired to secure victory in the game; however, we must persist.

We have confidence in our abilities and must continue to progress and enhance ourselves; it is an extensive path ahead. We must concentrate on our own interests.

“That is football; that is the Premier League, the most challenging league globally.”

We must analyse the game to identify our mistakes and enhance our performance for future matches.

We are aware of our attributes, recognise our potential, and have confidence in ourselves.
