SNAPPED: ​Arsenal winger Marquinhos fought back tears after debut goal

Arsenal winger Marquinhos fought back the tears as he scored his first goal for the club.

The Gunners managed to sneak a win in the Europa League group stages away from home against FC Zurich on Thursday.

The Brazilian, who arrived from Sao Paulo in Brazil in the summer, took only 17 minutes to make an impact in the clash that Arsenal won 2-1.

Marquinhos, who is only 19, was extremely emotional in his celebration as he let out all of his feelings with his teammates after scoring.

Arsenal were pegged back by Zurich, but got the winner through striker Eddie Nketiah to take all three points in their first group stage game.

Both teams also observed a minute's silence prior to the second half following the announcement of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
