Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has been described as “magic” by Premier League Productions pundit Owen Hargreaves.
The Gunners forward has enjoyed a superb year, becoming an indispensable player for Mikel Arteta.
And on Sunday, Martinelli was unplayable as Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Brazilian opened the scoring after just 58 seconds, finishing from Martin Odegaard’s through-ball.
He gave Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson a torrid time throughout.
Martinelli was Arsenal’s biggest and most effective threat on the counter, and also provided an assist for Bukayo Saka.
The former Ituano ace showed once again that he’s a superstar in the making.

And Hargreaves loved what he saw from Martinelli when he set up his teammate.
“Martinelli is magic, he’s too much,” Hargreaves said on Matchday Extra (09/10/22, 21:25).
“Jordan Henderson can’t let him chop back on the inside like that.
“Arsenal look like they have a lot more belief than they have had in previous years.”
Arsenal really struck gold when they snapped up Martinelli for just £6million.
He enjoyed a superb maiden season at the Emirates before then falling out of contention somewhat.
But now, Martinelli has shown Arteta he has what it takes, and he’s been sensational for the Gunners.
Better still, he is just one of numerous superb players at Arsenal, and the outcome is, top of the table.
