Mari, currently on loan at Italian club Monza from Arsenal, escaped life-threatening injuries after being stabbed and seeing a person die in front of him during an attack in Milan on Thursday.
Following Martinelli’s goal after five minutes, Arsenal players celebrated by holding up an Arsenal shirt with Mari’s name on the back and the number 22 – which is the 29-year-old’s squad number in north London.
The whole matchday squad posed with the shirt ahead of kick-off, with Arsenal posting a picture on Twitter and tagging Mari alongside a red love heart, with the caption: ‘For @PabloMV5’.
