The clash between Arsenal and Liverpool, which ended in a draw, may have been quite “lukewarm”. However, the final moments were very hot. There were even attacks on the mix... all due to a misunderstanding. Arsenal, playing at home, were trying to score the winning goal. The Gunners benefit from a throw-in, in which Conor Bradley was, in fact, injured. The defender even had to leave on a stretcher. Now, Arsenal's Brazilian winger thought that the opponent was just wasting time. He even threw the ball at Bradley and pushed him outside the four lines, in his eagerness to continue the game. This all took place in compensation time (90+4m). This action quickly resulted in pushing and shoving between the players, creating a moment of tension in the final moments. Martinelli later realized that Conor was actually injured. The Brazilian international then apologized directly to his professional colleague. He also left a public apology. Gabriel Martinelli says he messaged Conor Bradley after the match to apologise 🤝He tried to move Bradley off the pitch while he was down injured. pic.twitter.com/XqJfMDxrbq — ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) January 9, 2026 Arne Slot, Liverpool coach, reacted to what happened in the conference after the game. «I don't know Martinelli, but I believe he's a good guy. The problem for him, and it's a general problem in football, is that there is so much wasted time in the latter parts of games that sometimes you can get irritated when you want to score a goal and you feel like a player is faking injury. I'm 100 percent sure that, if he knew what the injury could be, he wouldn't do that", confessed the Dutch coach.
