Gabriel Martinelli suffered a worrying injury during Arsenal’s 6-0 win against Sheffield United. The Brazilian forward, who scored a goal and provided an assist in the match, was forced off the pitch after appearing to injure his right foot. The injury occurred despite Martinelli’s strong performance, which had helped Arsenal secure a dominant victory.
Fans expressed frustration on social media, criticizing manager Mikel Arteta for not substituting Martinelli earlier in the game. Arteta later provided an update on Martinelli’s condition, stating that it was just a cut and they would need to assess it further. Bukayo Saka was also substituted at half-time due to feeling sick. Despite the injury setbacks, Arsenal’s performance was impressive, with Martin Odegaard, an own goal from Jayden Bogle, Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice, and Ben White all getting on the scoresheet.
The victory puts Arsenal in a strong position in the title race, with their goal difference now a key factor. Sheffield United fans were left disappointed by their team’s performance, with many leaving the stadium early after witnessing their side’s poor display against a dominant Arsenal.
