Arsenal cruised to a morale boosting win over Southampton today at The Emirates, as Mikel Arteta ensured his side returned to winning ways.

First-half goals from Alex Lacazette and Martin Odegaard set the Gunners on their way, while a second half strike from Brazilian defender Gabriel added to the scoreline. Overall, it was a comfortable day at the office for the Gunners and a welcome return to form for many.

While the big story before the game was the omission of skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, one beneficiary of the Gabon star’s demise is looking like being Gabriel Martinelli. The young South American was once again a livewire for Arsenal. He looked a constant threat, and got an assist to his name as well.

Some Arsenal fans have longed for Martinelli to play for some time now. And after getting his chance in recent weeks, the youngster is certainly repaying Arteta’s faith. Today against Southampton, he was excellent, and Gunners fans were suitably impressed on social media.

Here, then, is how some Arsenal fans reacted to the latest Gabriel Martinelli performance today.
