Gabriel Martinelli Scores As Arsenal Thrash Everton 4-0
Gabriel Martinelli scores as Arsenal thrash Everton 4-0 to move five points clear at the top of the Premier on Wednesday.
Bukayo Saka broke Everton’s stubborn resistance late in the first half before Brazilian forward Martinelli doubled Arsenal’s lead at the Emirates Stadium.
Martin Odegaard bagged the third and Martinelli wrapped up Arsenal’s biggest victory since October on a night that could serve as another landmark moment in their surge toward the title.
It was essential for Mikel Arteta’s side to win their game in hand on second-placed Manchester City as the title race approaches its climax.
With 13 games left, the victory keeps Arsenal in pole position to win the title for the first time since Arsene Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’ in 2003-04.
After wobbling during a run of three league games without a win that culminated with City knocking them off the top spot with a 3-1 win at the Emirates, Arsenal has bounced back impressively.
Three successive wins since the City defeat have taken the Gunners to 60 points, which is their joint-highest total after 25 Premier League fixtures, along with that famous 2003-04 campaign and 2007-08.
