Today, Gabriel Martinelli fired Arsenal to a battling 1-0 win over Manchester City to breathe fresh impetus into the Gunners’ quest for a first Premier League title in 20 years.
A largely matched encounter at Emirates Stadium appeared to be ambling towards a goalless draw.
But Mikel Arteta sent on Martinelli at halftime and three other players introduced from the bench were involved in the game-winning moment four minutes from stoppage time.
Thomas Partey’s raking ball was won by Takehiro Tomiyasu, just as Kai Havetz held up play expertly.
