Gabriel Martinelli's hat-trick against Portsmouth was the first of his career
From being branded an "idiot" to scoring a hat-trick, Gabriel Martinell's name has been in the headlines over the past few days.
The Arsenal winger was heavily criticised for trying to push the injured Conor Bradley off the pitch in the closing stages of Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Liverpool on Thursday, something he apologised for on social media.
But the 24-year-old's first hat-trick for Arsenal - as they came from behind to beat Championship outfit Portsmouth and reach the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday - showed "personality", according to his boss.
"It's part of football and then it's how you take it," Mikel Arteta when asked how Martinelli has dealt with being the subject of so much discussion.
