Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has urged calm after defeat at home to Manchester City.

Arsenal have failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions and are on their worst run of form this season.

Individual errors cost Mikel Arteta's side last night as all three of City's goals came from Arsenal giving away possession.

Arsenal still have a game in hand on new leaders City and Martinelli has called for unity as the Gunners look to bounce back at Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime.

“We know our team; we know our qualities and we are going to stick together," said Martinelli. “There are still a lot of games to play. We know our strengths and we will bounce back. We are a family, and we are going to fight until the end.

“For sure, it is going to be tough games [at Aston Villa and Leicester]. But we are ready. We know our team and we go for it. We lost the game [against Manchester City], but we are Arsenal. We know how big we are and our qualities. We go to the next game to win and try to beat Villa."

Martinelli admits Arsenal must cut out the errors if they want to stay in the title race.

“Mistakes are part of the game, and we need to nail it and try to not make them," he said. “It's easy to say now when you are here, but when you are on the pitch it is so much harder.

“Of course, in a game like this, the team that makes less mistakes are going to win the game and they won today. We are a team. If one [player] makes a mistake it's not him, it's everyone. We are a team."
