The former Arsenal striker
was full of praise for the Brazilian youngster who scored his second
Premier League goal since joining Arsenal in the summer against
Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium

A red card against Crystal Palace on January 11 saw Mikel Arteta lose his main goalscorer to a three game suspension, the first of which was the visit of the Blades to the Emirates Stadium.
While the Brazilian had scored for Arsenal prior to facing Sheffield United, including a goal in the Premier League against West Ham on his full league debut, his strike was all the more important due to the absence of Aubameyang.
The Gabon international has put away 14 of the 30 goals scored by Arsenal in the English topflight this season. No other player has yet reached double figures for the club in the current campaign across all competitions.
He is the second only to Aubameyang across all competitions with nine, and Wright was impressed by how he came in to cover for Arsenal's suspended top scorer.
"He played well," the former striker told Match of the Day. "He's someone that the Arsenal fans are very excited about.
"He is someone that is constantly trying to get in the box, he has great movement.
"When you look at him, he's sharp, always wants to get in the box, makes good darts into the box.
"He gets himself into a position and then look at his movement now and he gets the goal.

However, Wright had praise for other players who performed for City.
"[Martinelli] was full of running, movement, him and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Saka all played really well, [Shkodran] Mustafi has to get a mention too.
"It's still a work in progress but I'm delighted for him today."
