Arsenal fans are desperate for Gabriel Martinelli to be handed his chance from the off in the Premier League after his brace against Liverpool on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old made it seven goals in four starts for the Gunners with his first-half strikes against the Reds, however, his efforts were in vain, with Jurgen Klopp’s side progressing on penalties following a 5-5 draw.
Arsenal’s Goal reporter Charles Watts shared an impressive goalscoring stat regarding the Brazilian, which led to these Gunners supporters urging Unai Emery to start the teenager in the league.

Read Arsenal verdict
It’s hard to disagree with anything these Arsenal fans are saying.
The 18-year-old has settled into life in England with ease, and with seven goals in four starts, Emery cannot leave the forward out of his Premier League XI for much longer.
The only negative regarding Martinelli’s impressive form is whether or not the Gunners can keep hold of him in the long run, so a first league start against Wolves will certainly keep the youngster happy.
