Arsenal matchwinner Martinelli: Leicester made it tough

Gabriel Martinelli was happy to prove Arsenal's matchwinner in victory at Leicester City.

The striker struck immediately after halftime for the 1-0 win.

He later said: "Yeah, it was a tough, tough game, but we did it, three points is the most important thing.

"I think we need to keep going and be patient when we get in the final third. We did it today, we got the goal and the win as well.

"It was a good goal, a beautiful goal, it was a great ball from Leo and I just put it in the back of the net, it was a good goal.

"The gaffer was saying to us this week that we needed a clean sheet and we did it today, I'm so happy for that."
