Arsenal fans will love Gabriel Martinelli's Instagram message following Liverpool defeat

Gabriel Martinelli has sent a message of thanks to Arsenal's supporters following their Carabao Cup exit.

The Gunners were involved in one of the games of the season after playing out a scintillating 5-5 draw with Liverpool on Wednesday night.

However it was Jurgen Klopp's side who progressed after winning 5-4 on penalties.

Martinelli had another excellent night in an Arsenal shirt after bagging a brace against a young Liverpool side, and it's clear to see that he's adapting to life with the Gunners particularly well.

At a time when there's something of a divide between supporters and players, the young Brazilian seems to be doing everything right to endear himself to the fans.

After the Carabao Cup exit to Liverpool Martinelli took to social media to express his gratitude to the Arsenal supporters for their support on Merseyside.

He said: "We tried our best. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify.

"I'm sorry and thank you very much to the fans who supported us until the end.

"We left with our heads up, we are still strong to do ahead!!"
