Gabriel continues to taunt Tottenham players after their heavy defeat

The North London derby once more erupted with passion as Arsenal dominated Tottenham 4-1, reestablishing a 5-point gap atop the Premier League standings.

Not only making an impact on the pitch, central defender Gabriel Magalhaes also stirred social media with his clever jabs aimed at rival teammate Richarlison from the Brazil national team.

Right after the victory, Gabriel posted a photo on the team bus holding the Man of the Match award. Notably, he cleverly placed a number 4 playing card in front of the camera, hinting at the four goals Arsenal scored against Tottenham. The picture also featured a bag of M&M’s and a can of Rio drink, creating a spontaneous yet pointed celebration scene.

In this 4-1 thrashing, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres each scored twice, overwhelming Spurs' defense. The 4-1 scoreline also mirrored the first leg result, highlighting Arsenal’s dominance in recent clashes with their city rivals.

Gabriel’s post quickly received reactions from teammates. Captain Declan Rice left laughing and heart emojis, while several others excitedly commented in Brazilian slang expressing their enthusiasm. However, the detail fans enjoyed most was Gabriel quietly tagging Richarlison in the post. Tottenham’s forward came on as a substitute and failed to make an impact, making the teasing all the more biting.

This isn’t the first time the two Brazilian internationals have exchanged words on social media. Previously, when Tottenham won 1-0 in a friendly in Hong Kong, Richarlison posted a celebration photo tagging Gabriel. The Arsenal defender immediately responded by showing off three Man of the Match awards he had won against Spurs. Now, he has added another trophy to his derby collection.

Statistics show Gabriel has an impressive record in North London derbies, with 8 wins in 11 appearances and only 2 losses. Beyond being solid defensively, he is also a key psychological pillar in the most intense matches of the season.

The victory over Tottenham helps Arsenal strengthen their lead, but Mikel Arteta’s squad still faces major challenges ahead, especially the upcoming away match at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium. The Premier League title race promises to remain thrilling, but with their current form and boosted morale after the derby, Arsenal are sending a powerful message to all challengers.
