Martinelli Strikes Early As Arsenal Extend Perfect Champions League Start

By IANS News October 02, 2025 • 09:28 AM View: 383

UEFA Champions League: Gabriel Martinelli scored early to set Arsenal on course for a 2-0 win over Olympiacos, maintaining the Premier League side's perfect start in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Martinelli reacted quickest in the 12th minute after Viktor Gyokeres' shot was saved by Konstantinos Tzolakis and deflected onto the post. The Brazilian forward also had a goal and an assist in Arsenal's opening win over Athletic Club.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta rotated heavily, making six changes from the weekend victory over Newcastle.
