'Ronaldo mentality' - Arsenal fans spot what Gabriel Martinelli did after scoring against Leeds

Arsenal travelled to Elland Road on Saturday night for a Premier League clash with Leeds - and the first half could not have gone any better for the visitors.

Mikel Arteta was on the hunt for a third straight win after beating Southampton and West Ham in quick succession last week, as the Gunners moved into the top four.

Arsenal were rocked by the news that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had been stripped of the club captaincy following a trip to France, but negative affects are yet to be seen.

Elland Road can be a menacing place for teams to visit but against a depleted Leeds team, Arsenal were able to rack up a 3-0 lead by half-time.

Gabriel Martinelli shone brightest once again after finding the net against West Ham in midweek.

Two more goals followed for the youngster in Yorkshire in the first 45 minutes, arrowing his first strike into the top corner before chipping Illan Meslier moments later.

Bukayo Saka added a third before the whistle, his strike deflecting off a Leeds boot to leave Marcelo Bielsa no doubt fuming.

But it was what Martinelli did after scoring his second that caught the eye with the Brazilian blowing a kiss to the home supporters as they reacted furiously.

Here is the best of what Arsenal fans had to say on the incident. It's safe to say they enjoyed it.
