Martinelli seals turbulent week with FA Cup hat-trick for Arsenal
Gabriel Martinelli capped a dramatic week by scoring his first senior hat-trick as Arsenal beat Portsmouth 4-1 to reach the FA Cup fourth round. The goals came from two near-post headers off Madueke’s corners and a late strike from a quick free-kick setup, taking him to nine goals in all competitions and making him Arsenal’s top scorer this season. The week began with criticism after he shoved an injured Conor Bradley (who later suffered a season-ending injury), and he answered with focus and form as Kai Havertz returned and a 16-year-old debuted for the club.
