Arsenal are one step closer to sealing a Champions League last-16 spot after a 2-0 victory against Sevilla.
Leandro Trossard‘s sublime team goal fired Arsenal ahead in the first half.
And Bukayo Saka‘s brilliant finish wrapped up the points in North London.
While the pair won the game with their goals Martinelli, 22, won over fans with his unbelievable skill that only ex-Spurs and Manchester United forward Berbatov could pull off.
The Brazilian reached the ball just before it crossed the by-line and pulled out the “Berba Spin” leaving a dazed Juanlu Sanchez behind.
And fans were impressed by his stunning display of the trick.
One wrote: “Martinelli is absolutely on fire today.”

Another added: “That’s absolutely beautiful.”
Berbatov pulled off an arguably even more unbelievable turn against West Ham for United in 2008.
With one agreeing: “This is beautiful but Berbas one was too classy.”
Martinelli arrived from the lower tiers of Brazilian football in 2019 for just £6million.
The forward has gone on to score 35 goals and provide 22 assists in his 143-game North London career.
