Former England captain Alan Shearer says Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta needs to give Gabriel Martinelli an extended first team run.
Martinelli scored in victory against West Ham in midweek.
“I'd like him to have more of a run over a sustained period and show what he can do over a sustained period of time but that is really exciting play and that's exactly what Arteta needed tonight," Shearer said.
“The players needed to go out and do the manager a favour, he put his neck on the line in making that big decision and leaving the captain out and taking the captaincy off him publicly.
"They didn't disappoint and didn't let him down."
