Martinelli fired Arsenal ahead in the first half before Kai Havertz double the home side’s advantage 10 minutes after the interval.
But Villa responde just four minutes later through Youri Tielemans, with Ollie Watkins grabbing an equaliser for the visitors.
A shell-shocked Arsenal went in search of a winner following Watkins’ 68th-minute strike, and Havertz thought he had found it when he turned in Mikel Merino’s shot with three minutes remaining.
But Havertz was adjudged to have used his arm as he turned the ball in, and VAR ruled out his goal.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Arsenal who had seen Liverpool score twice late against Brentford to extend their lead at the top.
Consolation for Mikel Arteta came in the performance of Lewis-Skelly who put in another outstanding shift as a makeshift left-back and nearly created the winning goal for Leandro Trossard in injury-time.
‘We love him,’ said Martinelli when asked about the 18-year-old. ‘He’s brilliant, a star boy.
‘We trust him. I think he’s going to be one of the best players in the world in the future.’
Reflecting on dropping two valuable points in agonising circumstances, Martinelli added: ‘It’s a disappointing day. We wanted to win the game, but we have to keep going.
We trust in ourselves, and we have to keep going and improving – it is a long journey to go. have to focus on ourselves.
That’s football, that’s the Premier League, the most difficult league in the world.
‘We have to see the game and see what we have done wrong and improve for the next games.
