Gabriel Martinelli reacts after Arsenal draw vs Aston Villa

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has expressed his disappointment following the 2-2 Premier League draw against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Gunners raced into a convincing 2-0 lead at the Emirates Stadium, but they squandered the advantage with some poor bit of defending.

Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino were guilty of failing to track runs. With the stalemate, Arsenal remain six points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

Speaking after the game, Martinelli was unhappy with the result, but added that the club need to keep going and improving to stay in the title hunt.

He said: "It's a disappointing day. We wanted to win the game, but we have to keep going.

"We trust in ourselves, and we have to keep going and improving - it is a long journey to go. We have to focus on ourselves."

Arsenal will be in Champions League action against Dinamo Zagreb in midweek before facing Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road in the Premier League.
