# Arsenal: Fans praise Gabriel Martinelli after youngster scores brace on full debut for club

**Arsenal fans were left heaping praise on youngster Gabriel Martinelli after the forward scored a brace on his full debut for the north London club.**

The summer signing scored twice in the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup last night.

The first goal came after Reiss Nelson played a delightful ball out to the right-wing for Calum Chambers, who volleyed a cross into the young Brazilian to plant a header past on-loan Manchester City ‘keeper Arijanet Muric.

The second goal came after a good dribbling run took the 18-year-old just outside the box after which he unleashed a curling effort into the top corner [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49723455).

The start against Forest was Martinelli’s second Arsenal appearance after he came on as a substitute in the 1-0 win over [Newcastle United](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49223797) in the opening game of the season.

Fans have been sending messages of praise to the 18-year-old after his goal-scoring feats in the League Cup as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from Gooners:
