Gabriel Martinelli the latest match-winner as Arsenal maintain Premier League lead

If Arsenal are going to do the unthinkable and win their first league title in 19 years this season, they will need every one of the talented squad to hit top form at some point along the way.

That is what perhaps separates this Arsenal side from their title rivals – there is no superstar, no reliance on any particular player.

Each week, different individuals have stepped up to keep the Gunners on course for the most unlikely to title successes. For all their embarrassment of riches, Manchester City are not the same team without Kevin De Bruyne in it and where would Manchester United be without Marcus Rashford’s goals?

The match-winning mantle is passed around at Arsenal. This week, the responsibility fell on Gabriel Martinelli. While the goal was a typically aesthetically-pleasing Arsenal goal that earned them a narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City to stretch their advantage atop the Premier League, the performance was anything but vintage Gunners.
