Arsenal heading for Newcastle ‘to score three, four, five’, warns Martinelli

Arsenal trail 2-0 from Carabao Cup semi-final first leg
‘We have an amazing team and trust ourselves,’ he says

Gabriel Martinelli says Arsenal will go to Newcastle in Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg looking to “score three, four, five” after the confidence boost of Sunday’s 5-1 Premier League win over Manchester City. Arsenal trail 2-0 from the first leg but intend to channel the emotion of a statement victory against City, which took in crowing at the discomfort of their rivals – especially that of Erling Haaland.

The City striker angered Arsenal after the 2-2 draw between the clubs at the Etihad Stadium last September when he clashed with Gabriel Magalhães and Myles Lewis-Skelly – and told Mikel Arteta to “stay humble”. So we saw Gabriel screaming in Haaland’s face after Arsenal had put the ball in the City net. We saw Lewis-Skelly mimic Haaland’s “Zen” celebration after he scored for 3-1, and caption an Instagram picture of the pose with: “Keep it humble.” And we heard the Emirates Stadium song selector play out at full-time with Kendrick Lamar’s Humble.
