6 - Gianluca Scamacca (6 goals) is the highest scoring Italian player in all competitions across Europe’s big five leagues this season, while among Premier League players, only Erling Haaland (20), Harry Kane (8) and Phil Foden (7) have netted more. Deft.
What a start at the Emirates!
Gabriel Martinelli scores his fourth league goal of the season to put Arsenal ahead in the first minute
Gabriel Martinelli has just scored Arsenal’s first goal against Liverpool in 607’ minutes of play, with their last strike against The Reds before today coming via Alexandre Lacazette on 28 September 2020 (in a 3:1 loss).
Well, that didn’t take long.
Only two U21 players have scored 10+ Premier League goals since the start of last season:
◎ Bukayo Saka
◉ Gabriel Martinelli
It’s an Arsenal thing.
58 - Gabriel Martinelli’s goal after 58 seconds was Arsenal’s quickest in a Premier League home game since October 2011 (Robin van Persie, 29 seconds v Sunderland). It’s also the quickest goal that Arsenal have ever scored against Liverpool in the Premier League. Flash.
Darwin Núñez has just scored his second Premier League goal of the season, and first since 6 August and his strike against Fulham.
After a period of dominance, Liverpool are back in this one!
Arsenal have now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last:
◉ 14 PL games against Liverpool
◉ 10 PL games at the Emirates
The unwanted runs continue.
