Gabriel Martinelli Sinks Aston Villa To Maintain Arsenal S Perfect Start Premier League

When Douglas Luiz duly did one of his party pieces in the corner, minutes after coming on as a substitute, 58,000 pairs of eyes may have turned. they’ve seen it all before in a venue that knows false dawns like few others. This time, however, they opened in awe as Gabriel Martinelli responded almost immediately and gave Mikel Arteta’s side exactly what they deserved. With the caveat that Arsenal will ultimately be judged on how they handle such setbacks against better opposition than a woeful Villa, there is a growing sense that this team possesses strengths that many of its predecessors lacked. They recovered from a similarly poor concession to beat Fulham on Saturday. Repeating the trick was on one level a reminder that they have a rickets, but, on another, proof that they’ve learned how to clear their heads. “That’s the mentality we want to show as a team and the character we want to show, to react straight away,” Arteta said of the winner, which came three minutes after Luiz had tied Arsenal up and confirmed their best start since 2004. Goals are part of the game. it’s about the next action.” Martinelli took his goal superbly, controlling a half-volley at the far post after Bucayo Saka had cut a teasing cross into his path. The whole series spoke of the difference between these sides: the drive had started when Martinelli made ground before finding Takehiro Tomiyasu, who then passed to Saka, but Villa’s defense seemed to think their work was done when the Brazilian was out of possession. He was unmarked to apply the finish seconds later and Steven Gerrard was left to regret wasting a lifeline. “We won the game [to] exactly where we want it and then we go and shoot ourselves in the foot,” he said. “We have ourselves to blame for conceding so quickly. We talk about it most days and it’s really frustrating that the messages don’t seem to be getting through.” Gabriel Jesus gives Arsenal the lead in the first half at the Emirates Stadium. Photo: Tolga Akmen/EPA Even if they do between now and Saturday, it would take a brave viewer to imagine Villa picking up a result against a rampant Manchester City. Three points from five games is a bad start and it’s likely to get worse. Their performances are not helping and Gerrard has admitted that the pressure on his job has already increased. “If I stood here and said I wasn’t worried, you’d look at me like I was from a different planet.” In the first half Arsenal hit their team with otherworldly football, helped by the fact that Villa offered nothing beyond late challenges and random fouls. If they were set up to get a point, many times when Arsenal exposed them they made a mockery of it. If Gerrard wanted them to attack, a complete lack of cohesion meant they didn’t show it. Gabriel Jesus forced a wavering Emiliano Martínez into two saves with corner efforts and Gabriel Magalhães twice went close. Saka missed a sitter at the far post and, before the interval, Martinelli drew a volley past the Villa keeper. On the half-hour Jesus sent in the loose ball after Martinez had reacted haphazardly to Granit Xhaka’s cross, but Arsenal were not to be seen. That meant Douglas Luiz’s equaliser, who beat Aaron Ramsdale with a striker for his second such goal of the season, felt perversely inevitable as the second period wore on. Ramsdale had just been tested for the first time by Leon Bailey and, despite being passengers, Villa entered a position of relative strength. Arsenal took them down quickly and Arteta will be hoping to keep his side’s momentum going. Albert Sambi Lokonga did well in his first start since April but is light in central midfield, with Mohamed Elneny ruled out for some time and Thomas Partey also down. “If the right player is available and we can do it, we will try,” Arteta said of any deadline day additions. In the heat of the moment, however, he could enjoy the prospects offered by Martinelli’s decision. “When you start to get that belief and create those moments, it’s not just us, the crowd believes,” he said. “When that connection happens, anything is possible.”
