Arsenal: Fans go crazy after Gabriel Martinelli’s latest goal in draw with Frank Lampard’s Chelsea

Arsenal fans were going crazy after Gabriel Martinelli ran 67-yards to score their first equalising goal in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

The goal came after the north London outfit counter-attacked the Blues following Shkodran Mustafi’s headed clearance from a corner. Martinelli was rather fortunate as N’Golo Kante slipped, allowing the £6m man from Ituano to run through and slot past Kepa Arrizabalaga (via BBC).

One fan showed his love for the youngster as he compared him to a legend of the game.

From Terry’s slip to Kanye’s slip. Martinelli better than Messi.

The 18-year-old enjoyed a brilliant game against the fourth-placed side in the Premier League as he had the joint-most shots on goal and on target for the Reds. He also did his duty in tracking back and attempting to shield Bukayo Saka as he made the joint-second most tackles and the joint-second most interceptions (via WhoScored). With that in mind, fans were going crazy after his goal as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:

There’s Gerrard’s slip at Anfield and then there’s that. The composure from the young man was scary.
