Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Sevilla has moved them one step closer to securing a spot in the Champions League’s round of 16.

Arsenal took the lead in the first half thanks to a masterful team goal by Leandro Trossard.

In North London, Bukayo Saka’s outstanding finish sealed the victory.

While the pair won the game with their goals Martinelli, 22, won over fans with his unbelievable skill that only ex-Spurs and Manchester United forward Berbatov could pull off.

The Brazilian reached the ball just before it crossed the by-line and pulled out the “Berba Spin” leaving a dazed Juanlu Sanchez behind.

And fans were impressed by his stunning display of the trick.

One wrote: “Martinelli is absolutely on fire today.”

Another added: “That’s absolutely beautiful.”

Berbatov pulled off an arguably even more unbelievable turn against West Ham for United in 2008.

With one agreeing: “This is beautiful but Berbas one was too classy.”

Martinelli arrived from the lower tiers of Brazilian football in 2019 for just £6million.

In his 143 North London games, the forward has gone on to score 35 goals and dish out 22 assists.
