#2 Hit: Gabriel Martinelli
The Brazilian teenager was brought in the summer for a measly £6 million price tag. At that time, no fan knew what impact he would have on the senior team. This season, the 18-year-old has scored nine goals, firmly establishing himself as the club’s 2nd top scorer after Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang.
Coincidently, the youngster was brought into today’s squad to fill the void left by the suspended captain, who's been banned for three PL games.
Once again, it wasn’t just the 18-year-old’s goalscoring prowess that impressed most, it was his work-rate off the ball that inspired his teammates. At times, the Brazilian was found high pressing the Sheffield United defence on his own.
In another a coming of age performance, the winger attempted three shots on goal, completed one dribble, won one aerial duel and scored his team’s only goal of the game. Arteta has demanded that his players show commitment, fight, hard work and a willingness to press as the foundation of their new philosophy. At the moment, Martinelli embodies that style best in the team.
