Ally McCoist says 22-year-old Arsenal player was ‘lively’ vs Crystal Palace

Ally McCoist has given his verdict on the performance of Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

Former Chelsea player Andy Townsend was 𒅌also impressed by the display produced by Ma🎶rtinelli in the London derby.

So, what has been said about Gabriel Martinelli? Let’s take a look.

Praise for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli vs Crystal Palace

Well, Arsenal hammered Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in North Lo🌌ndon in the P🌱remier League this past weekend.

The Gunners were firm favourites headed into the London🏅 derby, and Mikel Arteta’s side never looked like they would even drop🍃 a point against Palace.

Gabriel Martinelli did not start the match for Arsenal. The 22-year-old Brazil international came on as a substitute for Leanꦛdro Trossard, who scored for the Gunners in the 59🦋th minute.

Martinelli scored two identical goalsꦕ. The first one came in the fourth minute of injury time and the second just a mi𓃲nute later.

Former Rangers and Scotland international striker Ally McCoist was hugely impressed by Martinelli, and so was ex-Chelsea player Andy Townsend.

McCoist said on : “I’ll tell yo🎃u who looked lively, Martinelli! Couple of great finishes.”

Townsend responded: “When he came on he w🍌as great.”

McCo🉐ist added: “Two good wee finishes as well mate, ver🎃y similar.”

Townsend th♍en noted: “Weren’t they good goals? Took them 𝄹really well.”

My View: Confidence boost for Gabriel Martinelli

In my view, Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli🐲’s confidence will have been boosted by his two goals against Crystal Palace.

Martinelli has not exactly been in great form in🍌 recent times. We know that he can do better.

However, the way he took his goals against Palace showed his class♔, and I believe that the Brazil inte🦩rnational will now go from strength to strength.

Martinelli has made 112 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The winger has sco♏red 30 goals an🐭d given 14 assists in those games.
