Gabriel Martinelli’s partner made eerie 10-word prediction before his equaliser for Arsenal

Keep a look out for Gabriel Martinelli’s girlfriend’s fantasy team.

The partner of the Arsenal superstar showed off her incredible prediction skills by calling out her boyfriend’s starring role against Manchester City.

Martinelli was again the difference against City

Martinelli was again restricted to a bench role in the Premier League game of the weekend, but only needed 12 minutes to make his mark yet again.

His record against City suggested that the Brazilian perhaps should have started, but at least his girlfriend was there to give him some words of encouragement after his pre-match benching.

“You’ll play against tired legs and you’ll score. You’ll see,” Isabella Rousso wrote on WhatsApp.

That couldn’t have been more true, as Martinelli cancelled out Erling Haaland’s opener to snatch a 1-1 draw at the Emirates.

Coming on for Jurrien Timber in the 80th minute, the 24-year-old spotted a ball over the top from Eberechi Eze and exploited some very tired legs indeed.

Josko Gvardiol had 91 minutes on the clock and failed to track the run, with Martinelli first to the ball before a delightful dink over Gigi Donnarumma.

Responding on Instagram, Rousso shared a screenshot of her pre-match message during her celebrations.

“Let’s go!” she wrote. “Proud, proud, proud, proud. You deserve it!”

In another post she wrote ‘my love’ with a wedding ring emoji, suggesting the pair are engaged.

Martinelli’s incredible City stats

As much as her words must have given some motivation, making an impact against City is nothing out of the ordinary for Martinelli.

This is the second time Martinelli’s had a late impact against City in three seasons

In fact, no Arsenal player has been involved in more Premier League goals against the Manchester side since Pep Guardiola arrived in 2016.

Overall, he has two goals and three assists against the 2023 treble winners, with four of those contributions coming in the last five games between the teams.

Making his record all the more spectacular, his last goal against City was similarly dramatic in October 2023.

Martinelli again came off the bench, earlier at half time, and then bagged the only goal of the game in the 86th minute with a deflected curling effort.

On this occasion, Martinelli’s goal and the division of the points means that Arsenal stay three points ahead of City, making it Guardiola’s worst Premier League start after five games.

Arsenal have seen off City, but have bigger problems in the shape of Liverpool

Mikel Arteta’s side stay in second, but there’s another issue, reigning champions Liverpool are five points ahead with a perfect start.

However, Martinelli can certainly be a lucky charm going forward, as Arsenal are yet to lose a league game that he’s scored in.
