The leader Arsenal entered the field this Monday for the Boxing Day round of the English Championship and beat West Ham 3-1 at Emirates Stadium. Thus, provisionally opened seven points of advantage for the vice-leadership. Scorer of one of the goals, the Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli celebrated the victory of the Gunners.
“Great match from the whole team. We went into the break at a disadvantage, but we heard what we needed to adjust and improve, and we managed to score two goals right at the start of the second half, which was fundamental for the result, “he said.
With the goal noted, the 21-year-old striker reached his sixth in this edition of the Premier League. With the mark, Martinelli tied with midfielder Odegaard as Arsenal’s top scorers in the national tournament. Despite celebrating the feat, the number 11 preached focus on the team’s next commitment.
“I’m happy for the goal, for being able to help the team, and even happier for winning this victory. We know the pressure of being in the lead, but we face game by game, calmly and trying to play our part. Now it’s time to think about the next challenge , away from home”, added the Brazilian.
Finally, Arsenal returns to the field next Saturday, at 2:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Brighton, at Falmer Stadium. At the moment, the Gunners add up to 40 points – out of 45 contested – and hope for a stumbling block by the manchester city this Wednesday to maintain the large lead.
