FA Cup: Arsenal Comes Back Against Portsmouth with a Hat-Trick from Martinelli

Arsenal faced a tough match on Sunday afternoon. In the 32nd round of the FA Cup against Portsmouth, a team once well-known in the Premier League, the Gunners found themselves trailing early on (0-1, 3rd minute). However, the lead was short-lived for the Championship side, as they conceded an equalizer shortly after through an own goal by André Dozzell (1-1, 8th minute), followed by Gabriel Martinelli giving the Londoners the lead (1-2, 23rd minute).

Noni Madueke could have sealed Arsenal's victory but missed his penalty (43rd minute). Ultimately, Martinelli provided some breathing room for his team in the second half, scoring a brace (1-2, 51st minute), and then completing his hat-trick towards the end of the match (1-4, 72nd minute), securing Arsenal's qualification for the 1/16 finals. This marks the end of the road for Portsmouth, who are fighting to stay in the English second division.
