Arsenal 4-0 Standard Liege: Gabriel Martinelli scores twice in rout
Arsenal vs S Liege
Europa League Group F
8:00pm Thursday 3rd October
Emirates Stadium
Gabriel Martinelli scored two goals and set up another as a Arsenal side turned to thrash Standard Liege 4-0 in their Europa League Group F meeting in the Emirates Stadium.
Teenager Martinelli, a #6m signing from side Ituano during the summer, started the scoring with a superb header after 13 minutes and netted his second with a low, curling end only three minutes after, making it four goals from two matches following his dual against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup.
Joe Willock struck Arsenals third goal (22) after a shot from fellow academy graduate Reiss Nelson redirected into his path within the Standard Liege box, together with Dani Ceballos finishing the scoring in the second half, poking Martinellis deft cross on the line to get his first goal for the club (57).
The negative of unai Emery missed a collection of chances to extend their lead but the victory is another step towards the Europa League knockout stages following the 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their opening group match.
