A blow for the Gunners.
The Brazil international thought he had opened the scoring in the 19th minute, only to see his goal ruled out for offside in contentious circumstances.
Martinelli’s frustration turned to annoyance moments afterwards when he was forced off ahead of a critical week with fixtures against PSV Eindhoven and Tottenham on the horizon.Pressed on Martinelli’s injury in his post match press conference, Arteta added: ‘He felt, I think, something in the action in the run for the goal.Martinelli was replaced by the eventual matchwinner, Leandro Trossard, who finally broke Everton’s resistance with a superb finish with 20 minutes remaining.
‘It’s what we need – the players who came in did very well, the subs that came on did very well. We need everyone on their toes and we fully trust them.’ The victory represented Arsenal’s first three point haul in the Blue half of Merseyside since 2017 and Arteta was delighted to put a long-running hoodoo to bed.
