Arsenal fans have urged Unai Emery to start Gabriel Martinelli against Bournemouth this weekend following his stellar display against Standard Liege.
The Brazilian, who joined over the summer in a deal worth £6 million, continued his impressive start to life in north London after being handed a second Emirates start.
The forward netted twice in the opening 15 minutes, becoming the youngest ever player to score two or more goals in a European encounter for the Gunners.
Martinelli then teed up Dani Ceballos in the second half as the Gunners ran out 4-0 winners.
And these Arsenal fans were quick to reply to the club’s official post regarding the forward, urging Emery to give the talented youngster a start this weekend.

It’s easy to see why these Gunners supporters want to see Martinelli handed a chance to shine in the Premier League, however, he may have to wait a little longer for a first domestic start.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe are regulars in the league, and Bukayo Saka’s impressive displays recently have made him almost undroppable.
Martinelli will probably have to stay patient in regards to a league start, but with four goals in two starts, Emery won’t be able to ignore the striker’s exciting cup form for much longer.
