Gabriel Magalhaes taunted Tottenham’s Richarlison on social media following the Gunners’ decisive North London Derby victory, continuing their ongoing rivalry despite Gabriel being injured for the match.
Following Arsenal’s emphatic victory in the North London Derby, defender Gabriel Magalhaes renewed his long-running social media feud with Tottenham striker Richarlison by posting a celebratory photo and tagging his rival.
According to a report from The Mirror, Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes could not help poking fun at Tottenham forward Richarlison following the Gunners’ dominant win over Spurs, despite missing the match due to an injury picked up with Brazil.
The defender, 28, took to Instagram and posted a photograph of himself along with the Arsenal player of the month trophy he’d been awarded, Eberechi Eze’s shirt, player of the match award, and a signed football, tagging Richarlison in his post.
The article states that this act mirrored how the Spurs star had targeted Gabriel following Tottenham’s 1-0 pre-season friendly win over Arsenal in Hong Kong in July.
On that occasion, Gabriel responded by sharing a picture of three Premier League player of the match awards picked up against Tottenham, but the Mirror noted that now he has “really been able to rub salt into the wound when it matters.”
Arsenal’s victory was secured by Eze’s hat-trick and Leandro Trossard’s goal, which ensured that Richarlison’s “impressive strike from distance counted for nothing.”
The three points against their local rivals allowed Arsenal to extend their lead at the top of the table to six points after Manchester City “slipped up against Newcastle.”
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta addressed his team’s form, stating: “We are doing really well, we’ve been really consistent, and that’s it,” Arteta said in his press conference.
“I mean, when you look at the results, whether they win or lose, the difference in the scoreline and actually what happens in games is really small. We know that.
We need players back immediately today. We’ve got Noni back on the pitch, which is great, but we’re still missing a lot, a lot of important players, and we’re going to need all of them.”
