GABRIEL MARTINELLI ISSUES EMOTIONAL PUBLIC APOLOGY TO LIVERPOOL’S CONOR BRADLEY
Gabriel Martinelli issues an apology to Conor Bradley after their heated clash. See the reactions from Gary Neville and Roy Keane.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli has apologised to Conor Bradley after a heated moment on the pitch. During the match, Martinelli threw the ball at Bradley and tried to pull him off the field, even though Bradley was clearly hurt.
Liverpool’s players were furious right away. They saw something was wrong with Bradley and rushed over, turning the whole thing into a bit of a mess. The referee handed out yellow cards to both Martinelli and Ibrahima Konate. Turns out, Bradley had a nasty-looking knee injury at the end of the match at the Emirates.
On TV, Gary Neville didn’t hold back. “I’m fuming with Martinelli,” he said. “I honestly don’t know how the Liverpool players didn’t just go after him.” Roy Keane agreed. “I didn’t like it at all,” Keane said. “It happened to me once—bad injury, another player standing over me. It’s just not on. Martinelli’s a good lad, but throwing the ball at someone, standing over him, getting a knee in, and trying to force him off…that’s an absolute disgrace. Hopefully, he’ll take a look at it and apologise.”
Martinelli did just that. He posted an apology on Instagram and said he’d already messaged Bradley. “I really didn’t realise he was seriously hurt in that moment,” Martinelli wrote. “I’m deeply sorry for reacting like that. Sending Conor all my best for a quick recovery.”
Liverpool manager Arne Slot didn’t slam Martinelli, though. He figured Martinelli probably thought Bradley was wasting time. “I don’t know Gabriel Martinelli personally, but he seems like a nice guy,” Slot said. “The problem is, there’s so much time-wasting in football these days. In the last moments of a tight game, tempers are high, and players get annoyed, thinking the other team is just trying to run down the clock.”
Slot added, “I’m sure if Martinelli knew how bad the injury was, he’d never have done it. But because of all the diving and time-wasting we’ve seen, it’s easy to jump to conclusions in the heat of the moment. I get why he thought it was just time-wasting and didn’t realise it was Liverpool.”
After all that, Bradley had to leave the stadium on crutches, clearly in pain, with his knee in a brace.
OPINION: BUKAYO SAKA SIGNING UNTIL 2031 IS A BIGGER STATEMENT THAN ANY £100M TRANSFER
Forget the summer spending spree; securing Hale End’s finest, Bukayo Saka, is the definitive proof that Arsenal are back on top.
Bukayo Saka just signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal, keeping him at the Emirates until 2031. He’s 24 now, and with his old deal running out next season, a new five-year contract locks him in for the long haul.
Since breaking through from Hale End, Arsenal’s legendary academy, Saka has racked up 77 goals in 290 games for the Gunners since his debut in 2018. He’s not just a regular anymore—he’s become one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe. England fans can expect to see him leading the charge at the World Cup this summer, too.
Honestly, nobody really doubted Saka would stay. There’s no official announcement yet, but everything suggests that he will join William Saliba and Gabriel in committing his future to Arsenal this season.
It’s not just Saka, either. Two more academy products, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles-Lewis Skelly, signed new contracts in the past six months. Sporting director Andrea Berta has moved quickly to make sure Arsenal’s brightest talents stick around. The club also went big in the transfer window, dropping £250 million on eight new signings.
Last season, when asked about his future, Saka said, “For me, I want to win, and I want to win wearing this badge. It is pretty clear the fans know how much I love them. I think they love me back. So it is a good relationship, and I am really happy to be here.”
Saka has scored seven goals already this season, and Arsenal are still alive in four competitions. Even though they couldn’t get past Liverpool on Thursday, Arteta’s team have a solid six-point lead over Manchester City as they chase their first league title in 22 years.
Next up: a trip to Portsmouth for the FA Cup, then Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. The season’s still got plenty of twists left.
OPINION: VIKTOR GYOKERES’ 10-GAME GOAL DROUGHT IS OFFICIALLY CRIPPLING ARSENAL’S TITLE CHARGE
Arsenal failed to go 8 points clear after a 0-0 draw with Liverpool in Storm Goretti. See the latest on the Gyokeres drought.
Arsenal let a big chance slip. They could’ve gone eight points clear at the top, but instead, they had to settle for a goalless draw with Liverpool at the Emirates.
Liverpool, one of just two teams to beat Mikel Arteta’s side this season, almost stole it when Conor Bradley smashed the crossbar. Arsenal, surprisingly, failed to score at home for the first time all season, but the draw still pushes their lead over Manchester City to six points.
The city’s run of three straight draws gave Arsenal a real shot at closing in on their first league title in over two decades. You could feel the buzz before kickoff—the Emirates was rocking. But once the match started, it just didn’t live up to the hype. The weather didn’t help either. Storm Goretti brought heavy rain and wind that made things tricky for both teams.
Liverpool isn’t really in the title race anymore since they beat Arsenal back in August, but they’re on a 10-game unbeaten run and are solidifying their spot in the top four.
For much of the first half, Liverpool barely got out of their own half, but they still had the best chance before the break. William Saliba’s risky backpass almost embarrassed David Raya, and with the keeper stranded, Bradley’s lob bounced off the underside of the bar.
After halftime, Liverpool took control and kept Arsenal penned back. Still, they were missing some major firepower—Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike were injured, and Mohamed Salah is away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Without them, Liverpool didn’t threaten much, apart from Jeremie Frimpong’s speedy runs, but he couldn’t quite deliver the final ball.
Dominik Szoboszlai nearly pulled off another free-kick stunner, just like last time, but his shot dipped too late.
Arsenal’s attack didn’t look much better. Viktor Gyokeres got subbed off after another tough outing; his goal drought from open play is now at 10 games. Arteta threw on Gabriel Jesus, Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, and Gabriel Martinelli to try to change things, but Arsenal didn’t get a shot on target in the second half until stoppage time. Jesus and Martinelli both shot straight at Alisson Becker.
In the end, Liverpool took a point and now sits three points clear of Newcastle and Manchester United in the race for a Champions League spot next season.
