Arsenal starlet Gabriel Martinelli reveals why he copied Kylian Mbappe's celebration

Gabriel Martinelli has admitted he had already planned to mimic Kylian Mbappe's celebration after scoring against Chelsea, revealing he told his mother he was going to do it the night before the game.

The Brazilian youngster scored a sublime goal at Stamford Bridge in January, running almost the length of the pitch before slotting past Kepa Arrizabalaga in front of the Arsenal fans.

He went on to pull out Mbappe's famous arms crossed celebration in the corner where the Arsenal fans were housed with some thinking he did it because he'd seen a fan do the same just moments before.
