Gabriel Martinelli has hit out at a 'nasty' tackle from Christian Norgaard that he claims 'could have broke my leg', after the Brentford midfielder escaped a red card during Arsenal's 1-1 draw at the Emirates.
Martinelli was on the receiving end of a lunging first-half challenge from Brentford captain Norgaard at the Emirates Stadium, one that sparked fury from the home crowd and an angry response from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
Referee Simon Hooper issued a yellow card to Norgaard and VAR declined to upgrade the punishment – a decision that left Arsenal's players and coaching staff incensed.
