Gabriel Martinelli couldn't contain his excitement as he celebrated Arsenal's victory over Brentford. The young star was full of praise for his teammate Bukayo Saka, who was unfortunately absent due to an injury. Martinelli described Saka as "irreplaceable" and acknowledged that his absence would be a major blow for Arsenal's Premier League title hopes.
Saka's injury, which required surgery, is expected to keep him out of action for several weeks, leaving a void in Arsenal's attacking lineup. However, Martinelli and the rest of the team are determined to step up and fill the gap left by their injured teammate. They showed their determination in their New Year's Day match against Brentford, where they came from behind to secure a well-deserved win.
Despite going behind early in the game, Arsenal never lost their composure and continued to push forward. Their persistence paid off as Gabriel Jesus scored his sixth goal in four games to equalize before half-time. The Gunners then took control of the game in the second half, scoring two goals in quick succession to secure the win.
Martinelli was one of the key players in Arsenal's comeback, scoring the third goal after a failed attempt by Brentford to clear the ball. When asked about the pressure of replacing the injured Saka, Martinelli humbly stated that no one could truly replace him as he is one of the best players in the world. However, he expressed his trust in the team and their ability to rise to the challenge.
Jesus also praised Arsenal's performance, describing it as "amazing" and highlighting their determination and resilience. He also emphasized the importance of the three points and the team's reaction to going behind early in the game. As a player who has experienced the pressure of playing for a big club like Arsenal, Jesus was thrilled to contribute to the team's success and hopes to continue scoring goals to help them in their title challenge.
Speaking of the title race, Jesus believes that Arsenal can challenge Liverpool for the title this season, just like they have in the past two years. Arsenal's comeback win against Brentford has kept them in the race, although they remain six points behind Liverpool with a game in hand. Martin Keown, a former Arsenal player, shared Jesus's sentiments and believes that Arsenal are still in the race for the title.
Looking ahead, Arsenal will face Brighton in their next Premier League match, and they will be hoping to continue their winning streak. Despite the setback of Saka's injury, the team remains determined and focused on their goal of winning the Premier League title. With their passion, intensity, and class, Arsenal have shown that they are more than capable of competing with the best and will not give up on their title hopes.
