Arsenal fans love Gabriel Martinelli’s three word roar caught on live TV during last-gasp win over Aston Villa
ARSENAL fans love Gabriel Martinelli even more after live TV caught their hero making a rousing three-word victory cry at Aston Villa.
The winger rounded off Saturday’s 4-2 Prem comeback win with the Gunners‘ second stoppage-time goal.
And some Arsenal supporters have been endlessly watching replays of the Brazil star’s scream, especially as he himself retweeted it with a heart.
The Gunners’ win put them top again, two points clear of Manchester City, plus with a game in hand.
And Martinelli has become a social media hit for the way he grabbed at his shirt and roared: “This is Arsenal!”
Fans lapped up that response – in the same month he signed a new 5.5-year contract.
One posted: “How Gabriel Martinelli shouted ‘this is Arsenal’ is everything.”
Another wrote: “Truly this is Arsenal” and a third revealed: “Man I can’t stop watching this.”
Supporters now hope fellow 21-year-olds Bukayo Saka and William Saliba will also extend their stays with fresh deals.
And the fact all three have been at the Emirates since they were teenagers was not lost on fans following Saturday’s triumph.

They feel Martinelli’s celebration proved a deep connection with the club.
One argued: “Martinelli is like one of our academy graduates. He’s got huge passion for this club like Saka does. “
Other praise included “I love these guys” and “How can you not like it”.
The form of Martinelli and Saka out wide is of course a major reason for Arsenal leading the Prem this season.
And a few supporters claim the six-cap Brazilian is “better than (Marcus) Rashford” – despite the England striker reaching 17 goals this season with a match-winning double against Leicester on Sunday.
