(Reuters) - Arsenal manager Unai Emery hailed forward Gabriel Martinelli's hunger and aptitude after the Brazilian teenager fired in two goals and set up another in Thursday's 4-0 Europa League win over Standard Liege.

The 18-year-old, who joined Arsenal in the close season for a reported fee of 6 million pounds ($7.40 million), struck twice in two minutes in the opening half and set up Dani Ceballos to cap off an impressive display at centre forward.
