After playing in our 2-2 draw against Chelsea on Saturday, Gabriel Martinelli made his 100th Premier League appearance for the club.
Since making his debut against Fulham on September 12, 2020, only Bukayo Saka has played more games in the division (113) for than Gabriel, who becomes the 65th Gunner to reach 100 Premier League games and only the third Brazilian, after Gilberto Silva and teammate Gabriel Magalhaes.
Martinelli's century is comprised of 74 starts and 26 substitute appearances, having totalled 6,396 minutes in his 100 games, of which he has won 57, drawn 21 and lost 22.
In that time, he has scored 27 goals in the Premier League - possibly none better than his strike against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2020 - and has added 14 assists.
There was another cause for celebration post-match as Kai Havertz also completed a century of games in the league, after coming off the bench. 91 of those came for our opponents on the weekend before his summer switch from west to north London.
