What Gabriel Magalhaes did after Arsenal goal controversy as problem resurfaces in big win
Arsenal went into the game with Crystal Palace needing to win. Thankfully, they were able to put nerves to rest early in the game and cruised throughout to the three points with five foals scored.
The win puts Arsenal level with Manchester City again and up into third above Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. The game was not the most enthralling but that didn’t stop it from providing the opportunity for some interesting hidden moments.
Despite the game being shown on TNT Sports, football.london was in the ground and able to spot some things the television cameras missed on the day. From celebrations to frustrating fan attempts to improving the atmosphere, we caught plenty.
After the line-up was announced with both Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard picked by Arteta there had been some discussion online about how they would form. However, as the warm-ups got underway the Belgian was indeed situated on the left with Jesus practising through the middle.
When the game kicked off it became apparent that this was indeed the case. Some might have asked the question why there was ever any discussion however with Trossard and Jesus being versatile enough to play centrally and wide it perhaps shouldn’t be too farfetched to have theorised that Arteta would switch it up.
Gabriel Magalhaes rose highest to open the scoring on the day. A Declan Rice corner was the perfect service and something of a new feature to the Gunners with it typically being Gabriel Martinelli or Trossard who would take them.
