LONDON: North London club Arsenal's forward Gabriel Martinelli has issued an apology after his actions during the Premier League match against the arch-rival Liverpool were criticised. The 24-year-old winger drew massive attention when he was caught pushing injured Liverpool player Conor Bradley off the pitch near the end of the match at the Emirates Stadium in London.
After Martinelli's push, the Reds player fell near the touchline during stoppage time. As the seconds passed, the Arsenal star thought Conor was wasting time, and he threw the ball at the Liverpool player, who was also seen being manhandled.
Once the game finished, Martinelli realised his mistake. The forward issued a public apology on Instagram and also revealed that he reached out to the injured Bradley over text to apologise.
