It certainly has not been the easiest of weeks for Gabriel Martinelli, but his hat-trick to fire Arsenal through to the fourth round of the FA Cup in a 4-1 win over Portsmouth ensured his football was the talking point at Fratton Park.

The Brazilian has been in the headlines for other reasons in recent days. He was widely criticised for trying to push Conor Bradley off of the pitch after the Liverpool defender had gone down injured during Arsenal’s goalless draw on Thursday night.
