Arsenal attacker Martinelli: Victory over Sevilla well deserved

Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli enjoyed a fine performance in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Martinelli played his part on the left wing against Sevilla, as the Gunners emerged with a 2-0 win.

Martinelli was a threat for 90 minutes, going at his marker down the wing from the first action of the game.

"I think we did well today, and we deserved the win," the Brazilian said afterwards to club media.

"Every game I want the ball as quickly as possible to have the advantage to go and take the full back on one-on-one. This is what I like to do, and I think the team knows that. Me and B are good at that, and today it's what you want.

"If you go one, two or three times and you beat your opponent, you get more confidence and that's what happened today."

"I told him that he's going to have to pay me for dinner!" he added on his assist for Bukayo Saka's goal.

"I'm so happy with the win and for his goal as well.

"It's so good to play here at home with our supporters, and we just try to do our best on the pitch to show them our qualities and win for them."
