Great photo capturing a pivotal moment during the Emirates Cup match between Arsenal and Olympique Lyonnais at Emirates Stadium on July 28, 2019, in London, England. The image shows Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli in a state of celebration after scoring what appeared to be a stunning goal against Olympique Lyonnais. However, the goal was controversially ruled out for offside by the referee, leaving Martinelli and his teammates crestfallen. The Brazilian youngster, who had only recently joined Arsenal from Ituano, had expertly finished off a slick team move, leaving the Lyonnais defense in disarray. The Arsenal faithful in the stands were ecstatic, believing their team had taken the lead in the first half. But their joy was short-lived as the referee's assistant raised the offside flag, much to the disbelief of everyone involved. The offside call was a contentious one, with many pundits and fans arguing that Martinelli was level when the ball was played to him. The photo encapsulates the emotion and frustration felt by Martinelli and his teammates, as well as the disappointment of the Arsenal supporters in the stands. Despite the setback, Arsenal went on to win the match 3-1, with goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicolas Pepe, and Alexandre Lacazette. This photo is a reminder of the unpredictability and drama that comes with football, as well as the sometimes controversial decisions made by referees that can change the course of a game. It is a moment that Arsenal fans will undoubtedly remember, and one that serves as a testament to Martinelli's potential and the promise shown by the young Arsenal squad under Unai Emery.
