Martinelli – We need to keep our feet on the floor

Martinelli goal

Gabriel Martinelli turned in another exceptional performance on Sunday, contributing a goal and assist to see off Liverpool at the Emirates, and maintain our place at the top of the table.

But despite helping the side to a sixth straight home win this season, the Brazilian warned that there is still plenty of hard work ahead.

Here’s a full transcript of his post-match interview…

on how much he enjoyed the game...

I enjoyed it a lot, it was a great game and I think it’s a game that everyone wants to play, and not just me, but I think all of the players enjoyed the game.

on scoring within the first minute...

To be fair I was a bit afraid, I think B was offside – no he wasn’t offside, but they were checking B for offside. But it was a great feeling, and the assist after, just before the end of the first half. I think we deserved the win and I’m so happy.

on running non-stop for 90 minutes...

Yeah, I always try to give my best on the pitch, to try to help my team-mates.

on what we can achieve this season...

I think we need to keep our feet on the floor and go game by game and try to win all of them.

on whether this is a really important win for us...

Yes of course, it’s a big game, it’s 50-50, we won the game and we are happy.

on how he's feeling ahead of the next game...

I’m feeling fresh, ready to go!
