FA Decide on Gabriel Martinelli Punishment

Sam Barrott gave Gabriel Martinelli a yellow card for pushing.

Gabriel Martinelli will not get in more trouble from the Football Association after pushing the referee during Arsenal's loss to Southampton.

Gabriel Martinelli was given a yellow card near the end of the 2-1 loss at St Mary’s for pushing the referee’s arm. This happened when Martinelli tried to take a free kick quickly.

The referee took action, so Martinelli will not be punished more by the FA.

Ex-referee Mark Halsey said Martinelli should have been given a red card. He said Martinelli pushed the referee out of the way after a free-kick was given to Arsenal.

Mark Halsey said Martinelli showed no respect for the referee.

Mark Halsey said it should have been a red card because you cannot touch a referee. This sets a bad example for other referees. Local referees might get treated the same way if players can push them.

Mark Halsey thought the referee did a good job but made a mistake by not giving Martinelli a red card.

Ref Support UK said the FA should not let Martinelli get away with this. They think the FA should take action against Martinelli.

Gabriel Martinelli got frustrated during the game against Southampton.

Ref Support UK said referees get pushed or shoved too often. They wanted the referee to give Martinelli a red card.

This is the second time Martinelli has avoided more punishment this season.

Before, Martinelli pushed a Liverpool player who was hurt.

There are discounts on football kits and merchandise from many teams.

Martinelli's behavior made a bad night for Arsenal even worse.

Arsenal lost to a smaller team, which was a surprise. They had just lost another big game before that.

The other team will now play Manchester City. Arsenal will focus on other games.
