Arsenal forward, Gabriel Martinelli has reacted to his side’s Premier League 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
Arsenal threw away a two-goal lead to draw with Unai Emery’s side at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Martinelli and Kai Havertz gave the Gunners a 2-0 goal lead.
But Aston Villa responded through goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins.
VAR then denied Mikel Arteta’s side a late winner when Havertz turned in midfielder Mikel Merino’s shot.
Havertz’s goal was ruled out by VAR as the Germany international was adjudged to have used his arm as he turned the ball in.
Reflecting on dropping two valuable points in agonising circumstances, Martinelli said it was ‘dissappointing’.
According to the Brazilian, that’s the Premier League, the most difficult league in the world.
“It’s a disappointing day. We wanted to win the game, but we have to keep going,” Martinelli said at his post-match interview after the game.
“That’s football, that’s the Premier League, the most difficult league in the world.
“We have to see the game and see what we have done wrong and improve for the next games.
“We know our qualities and we know the potential we have and we trust in ourselves.”
