Arsenal put on a breathtaking performance as they thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 in a one-sided contest at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners’ victory was highlighted by an awkward exchange between defender Gabriel Magalhaes and a TNT Sports reporter during the post-match interview.
Gabriel, who opened the scoring for Arsenal, mistakenly believed that he had scored two goals, unaware that one of them was credited as an own goal by Dean Henderson. Despite the misunderstanding, the Brazilian center-back expressed his joy at helping his team secure a resounding win.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright expressed his surprise at manager Mikel Arteta’s decision to bench Gabriel Martinelli, who later came on as a substitute and scored two goals within a minute. Wright commended Martinelli’s impact and emphasized the importance of taking advantage of the opposition’s vulnerabilities.
With this defeat, Crystal Palace’s manager Roy Hodgson faces increasing pressure as his team has won only once in their last 11 matches. Fans are convinced that Hodgson will be sacked, with Graham Potter speculated as his potential successor. Potter, who was spotted at the game, has been without a job since his tenure at Chelsea ended last year.
