Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged manager, Mikel Arteta not to bench the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Eberechi Eze again.
Wright spoke following Arsenal’s Premier League 1-1 draw with Manchester City.l on Sunday.
Recall that Arteta opted to bench both players against Man City as goals from Erling Haaland and Martinelli ensured both teams got a point each at the Emirates Stadium.
Eze provided the assist for Martinelli in the second half of the encounter after they came on from the bench.
“In my eyes, I’m starting Martinelli and Eze,” Wright told Premier League Productions.
“Martinelli can get the crowd going. Eze can make those passes like we saw him do. We need to start that quickly.
“We are looking at a City side who came to defend. When have you ever seen that? We have never seen that before.”
