Arteta wowed by Martinelli's technique for winning goal vs Aston Villa

• The forward snuck in at back post to net winner
• Arteta highlighted the threat of the Brazilian
• Arsenal now have five wins from five

WHAT HAPPENED? The Brazilian nipped in at the back post to meet a cross from Bukayo Saka and fire past Emiliano Martinez to put his side 2-1 up in the second half of the Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

WHAT THEY SAID: The 21-year-old's finish stood out to the Gunners coach, who was full of praise in his press conference, saying: "The goal of Gabi Martinelli is a really difficult technique, the height of the ball, the angle he's getting, the way he's approaching the ball, he still managed to hit the target and that always gives you a chance."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Martinelli's strike secured three points for the north London side and protected their perfect start to the new campaign.
