Arsenal: Brentford captain Christian Norgaard apologises for Gabriel Martinelli ‘leg breaker’
Martinelli was furious with ‘nasty’ tackle at Emirates Stadium on Saturday
Brentford captain Christian Norgaard has apologised to Gabriel Martinelli for a tackle that the Arsenal winger claimed could have broken his leg.
Norgaard caught Martinelli from behind with a challenge in the first half of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Emirates Stadium.
“He thought the tackle was maybe harder than I did, but he was fine and [Declan] Rice as well – he said it’s part of football, you try and make these tackles to stop transitions and there was no evil intention in the challenge.
