Jurgen Klopp once dubbed Gabriel Martinelli the "talent of the century", and the young Brazilian proved the ex-Liverpool manager may have a point with his performance against Manchester City.

Arsenal had the bulk of possession, as well as the most shots and corners, but this all looked like it would be futile in the end.

However, Martinelli was subbed on in the 80th minute and lifted the ball over 'keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the dying seconds to winger's promise, as his late goal left Guardiola looking foolish with his defensive substitutes in the last 15 minutes of the game.

After a 5-5 League Cup draw between Liverpool and Arsenal in 2019 - which the Reds eventually won on penalties - Klopp made the point of bringing up Martinelli's sheer talent at such a young age.

Speaking of the then-18-year-old, the German said: "Martinelli's pretty much the same age (as my young team) but he's a talent of the century, he's an incredible striker, so it's really difficult.

"He's really unbelievable.

I didn't want to put any backpack [pressure] on his back with this thing but I just really like good football players and obviously he's a very good one."

Since then, the Brazilian winger has scored 53 goals and assisted 30 times in 230 appearances for the Gunners, winning an FA Cup and Community Shield.

He said: "We had very good momentum and we needed to time that well.

"He's in a really good moment again after the game he had in Bilbao and that period of time probably he deserved more, but his energy again, his attitude was really good and that's why he made the impact that he made again for the team."

Reflecting on Martinelli's impact after just 13 minutes of action, Arteta added: "We want consistency on that, for every player that doesn’t start the game to be able to do that, because you see how long the match is and the level that it requires to beat them, and we're very happy with him."

Next up for the Gunners is a Carabao Cup third round trip to League One side Port Vale on Wednesday, before an away Premier League match against Eddie Howe's Newcastle next weekend.
