On a sunny Sunday in North London, the Arsenal versus Tottenham match was nothing short of thrilling. The match was tied, the tension was high, and both teams were determined to come out on top. As the clock slowly ticked away, it was clear that the game could go either way. But in the end, it was Gabriel who became the hero of the day, scoring the winning goal for Arsenal.
However, not everyone was convinced that Gabriel's goal should have stood. According to Arsenal legend Paul Merson and former Tottenham star Les Ferdinand, the Brazilian defender was lucky to have his goal count. They believed that he had committed a foul before heading the ball into the net. Even Merson himself admitted that it was a questionable move.
Despite missing key players Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, Arsenal managed to secure a crucial away win. It was a frustrating day for Tottenham, who had plenty of possession and attempts on goal, but failed to break down Arsenal's disciplined defense. The home fans were disappointed and frustrated, especially since they conceded a goal from a set-piece, which could have been easily avoided.
Upon closer inspection, it was evident that Gabriel had pushed Tottenham defender Cristian Romero in the back before scoring the winning goal. Merson pointed out that this was a clear foul and even someone like him, who doesn't play in the backline, knows that a defender should never be standing so close to their opponent. Ferdinand also agreed that it was a poor display of defending and was surprised that VAR didn't intervene.
On the other hand, Arsenal legend Ian Wright was not entirely convinced that it was a foul, but acknowledged that it could have been given as one. He found it strange that a defender of Romero's caliber could be easily pushed aside. Regardless, it was a simple goal for Arsenal to score, and it ultimately sealed their victory.
As the debate over the legitimacy of Gabriel's goal continued, fans were left wondering if there was indeed a foul in the build-up to Arsenal's winning moment. Some believed it was a clear foul, while others thought it was a bit of a gray area. One thing was for sure, the match had everyone on the edge of their seats until the very end.
