Mikel Arteta saluted Gabriel Martinelli's courage and enthusiasm following the teenager's exceptional goal in Arsenal's eventful 2-2 Premier League draw with Chelsea on Tuesday.
"To play in this stadium the way he has done with 10 men and against Azpilicueta, who in my opinion is one of the best defenders in the league, and he was going against him every single time, you need courage to do that," Arteta said.
"Then his energy. I wanted to take him off a few times because he looked knackered, he was cramping and next minute he's sprinting 60 yards again.
"Not just him. I think Laca [Alexandre Lacazette] is playing at a really good level, even though he's not scoring, and Nico [Nicolas Pepe] as well, and everybody that's coming in. They are fighting really hard in training to try to convince us to play more.
"When they question some things I tell them [to] speak on the pitch and this is to speak on the pitch."
