Gabriel Magalhaes mocked Tottenham Hotspur and Richarlison on Instagram after Arsenal secured a dominant win in the north London derby. The defender was heavily involved in several controversial moments during the match. His post-match social media activity quickly drew attention following the heated encounter.
Arsenal claimed an emphatic 4–1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The result mirrored the scoreline from the earlier derby meeting this season. The win pushed the Gunners five points clear at the top of the Premier League table. They have played one game more than Manchester City.
The match included a major flashpoint involving Gabriel. Tottenham thought they had equalised when Randal Kolo Muani found the net with Spurs trailing by one goal. However, the strike was ruled out after the forward was judged to have pushed Gabriel in the build-up.
Television replays suggested the contact was minimal. Tottenham’s interim boss Igor Tudor reacted angrily on the touchline. He appeared to signal that Gabriel had exaggerated the incident. Some Spurs supporters also argued online that the Arsenal defender should have received a red card earlier in the first half for bringing down Kolo Muani as the last man.
Despite the controversy, the key decisions went in Arsenal’s favour. Gabriel later took to Instagram to celebrate and provoke his rivals. He posted a photo from the team bus while holding his Player of the Match award. He also displayed a four of hearts card alongside snacks and a drink. The Brazilian tagged Richarlison in the post, continuing their ongoing social media rivalry.
After the match, Mikel Arteta expressed pride in his team’s performance. The Arsenal manager said the victory showed the squad’s character after a difficult run of form. He urged his players to maintain consistency and keep building momentum in the title race.
