The Football Association (FA) made a clear ruling on whether Martinelli will be banned after the drama involving him pushing Bradley in the intense Arsenal–Liverpool match.
On 9 Jan 2026, the Football Association (FA) clearly decided not to punish or ban Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli following the drama where he pushed Liverpool's young fullback Conor Bradley, who was injured, off the pitch—an incident that nearly sparked a scuffle late in the Premier League match that ended 0-0 at Emirates Stadium.
The moment occurred when Bradley appeared to be seriously injured, but Martinelli tried to speed up the game by throwing the ball and then pushing the Northern Ireland international player off the field.
Although the matter ended without penalties, criticism continued. Gary Neville expressed outrage live on air, calling the behavior "extremely shameful," while Roy Keane agreed, emphasizing that such conduct is inappropriate and should not happen on a football pitch.
