# Arsenal: Fans rave over impact of Gabriel Martinelli after Europa League brace against Standard Liege

**Many Arsenal fans were left raving over Gabriel Martinelli after the youngster scored two goals in three minutes in Arsenal’s 4-0 victory over Standard Liege in the Europa League.**

The ex-Ituano player’s brace comes just over a week after his last brace, which he scored on his full debut for the club in the 5-0 drubbing of Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup.

Manager Unai Emery was full of praise for the 18-year-old, applauding him for taking the opportunities given to him so far in his fledgling career in north London [(via Metro)](https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/04/unai-emery-gabriel-martinelli-message-position-arsenal-10859173/).

Martinelli’s rise to stardom at the Emirates Stadium may come as a shock to Premier League rivals Manchester United, who had the player on a series of trials, even playing a friendly game back in 2017 [(via The Sun)](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10064555/arsenal-martinelli-snubbed-man-utd-four-trials/).

Some fans didn’t hold back as they waxed lyrical about Martinelli after his brace as they took to Twitter to send their messages.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
