Gabriel Martinelli the hero as Arsenal snatch last-gasp win against Man City

    Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to fire Arsenal to a last-gasp, long-awaited victory against Manchester City at the Emirates on Sunday.

    Last season the Gunners pushed City in the title race, only to eventually fall just short as Pep Guardiola's side went on to become just the second English team to win the treble.

    Arsenal's inability to win a point off City last term proved costly but things are already different this time around, with Martinelli's deflected strike securing a last-gasp 1-0 win.

    The substitute's first-time effort in the 86th minute flew in off Nathan Ake, ending a run of 12 straight league losses in this fixture as they beat City in the Premier League for the first time since 2015.
