Gabriel Magalhaes was under a lot of pressure heading into the Leeds game on Sunday following a few inconsistent displays.
However, the Brazilian was solid at Elland Road with Arsenal managing to hold on and rescue a 1–0 win despite a controversial incident in added time.
Patrick Bamford pushed Gabriel in the Arsenal box with the Brazilian then kicking the Leeds striker, resulting in a red card and a penalty. However, VAR overturned both decisions from Chris Kavanagh.
