4. Martinelli is now on Saka’s level

Bukayo Saka has always been levels above Gabriel Martinelli, but now the Brazilian has shot up and is rivalling the Englishman. Against Liverpool, Martinelli led Trent Alexander-Arnold on a merry dance as he took it right to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Martinelli is quickly becoming one of Arteta’s key cogs. He has world-class potential and his recent displays would suggest he’s close to reaching such a lofty status.

His goal inside a minute was superbly taken as he slotted home with ease. A superb outing.
