Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has sung the praises of Gabriel Martinelli after his double in Arsenal's win at Leeds.

Martinelli, 20, impressed with a goal in Wednesday's 2-0 win over West Ham.

And the Brazilian forward wasted no time in showing off his skills at Leeds, scoring twice in the opening 28 minutes as Arsenal went on to win 4-1.

It was Martinelli's first-ever Premier League brace following 38 prior matches.

Neville said: "Martinelli is just really really good. Leeds once again give it away in such a poor area.

"What a pass from Granit Xhaka and you think Martinelli's touch has probably cost him early on.

"But he sometimes gets it out and recovers. Cody Dramah is trying to get back - if he tackles him, it's a penalty, a sending off, all sorts of things can happen.

"His finish is class. The on-rushing goalkeeper has no chance.

"A Premier League game is never over at 2-0, but Arsenal would have to do a lot from wrong here."
