Gabriel Martinelli Sets a new UEFA Champions League scoring record at Arsenal, after helping the Gunners defeat Club Brugge 3-0 on Wednesday.
Martinelli continued his impressive scoring run in this season’s campaign by getting among the goals against the Belgian giants.
Noni Madueke opened the scoring with an unstoppable strike after 27 minutes before he headed into an empty net just 80 seconds into the second half.
Martinelli then put the game out of reach when he scored a wonderful third 10 minutes later.
Now according to OptaJoe, Martinelli is the first ever Arsenal player to score in five successive appearances in the UEFA Champions League.
Also, he is the first in all major European competitions since Thierry Henry in the UEFA Cup in April 2000.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will return to domestic football this weekend with a hoke clash against winless Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Mikel Arteta’s side conceded a stoppage goal in the 2-1 defeat away to Aston Villa last time out.
