Written by Gabriel Magalhaes has been very consistent in the North London derby. He has always been a great force to reckon with in the defence alongside William Saliba. The Brazilian international player played very well and he is the one who forced Dominic Solanke to head an own goal, a goal that became Arsenal’s equalizer after Son had put the visitors ahead.
Gabriel Magalhaes was named as the player of the match following his match statistics in the North London Derby. This means that, this was his third consecutive man of the match award in the North London Derby.
This is a new record that he broke and it just shows how consistent he has been for the Gunners. In April 2024, Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspurs 3-2 and Gabriel Magalhaes was named as the man of the match.
In September 2024, Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 and the Brazilian international was again named as the man of the match. He again won the man of the match in January 2025.
The Brazilian international player has proven that he is one of the most reliable players in the Arsenal squad. He has so far scored a total of 20 goals for Arsenal despite the fact that he is a defender.
Mikel Arteta should look for a way in which he can tie him down to sign a long term contract. Arsenal can only do him justice, if the club can start winning major trophies like the Premier League title and also the Champions League title.
The good thing is that, the Gunners are still very much alive into those two competitions and if they put some seriousness, then they can win trophies. The squad is very hungry for trophies and this is the time to make that dream to finally come true so that the players can also say that they have won something for the club.
