Gabriel Martinelli praised Bukayo Saka’s ability on the ball after Arsenal beat Sevilla in the Champions League last night.

Arsenal got back to winning ways following back-to-back defeats with a 2-0 victory over Sevilla last night.

Bukayo Saka was on target as he wrapped up the game with an exceptional finish in the 60th minute.

Gabriel Martinelli created the goal with an inch-perfect through ball after a lively display down the left-hand side.

It’s no secret that both Saka and Martinelli have been key to Arsenal’s success over the past couple of years under Mikel Arteta.

The duo provide Arsenal with a huge threat down both sides of the pitch due to their ability in 1v1 situations.

Mikel Arteta said he was ‘really pleased’ with Saka’s display against Sevilla last night.

And Martinelli is the latest to praise Saka after a Man of the Match display in the Champions League.

Martinelli says Saka is so good at dribbling

Martinelli spoke to Arsenal’s official website after the game and praised Saka for his work on the ball.

“I think we did well today, and we deserved the win,” the Arsenal winger said.

“Every game I want the ball as quickly as possible to have the advantage to go and take the full back on one-on-one. This is what I like to do, and I think the team knows that. Me and B [Saka] are good at that, and today it’s what you want.

“If you go one, two or three times and you beat your opponent, you get more confidence and that’s what happened today.”

Martinelli was particularly potent down the left-hand side last night as he caused Sevilla’s right-back serious problems.

Arsenal are blessed to have two wingers who can beat their man with such ease and Arteta certainly makes the most of it as he gives them the license to run at opposition defenders.

With both players still only 22 years old, the best is yet to come from the duo and Arsenal seem to have their wide forward spots secured for the long-term future.
