Arsenal have been criticised for their lack of goals from the strikers this season, despite this Mikel Arteta’s side still tops the Premier League going into the World Cup break. A big reason for this is due to the Gunners having a surprising source of goals from elsewhere in the squad.
Gabriel Magalhaes was the match-winner for Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, as the Gunners achieved a major victory against their London rivals in Chelsea. This is the second winner the Brazilian has scored this season, after also scoring the last goal against Fulham in August to secure a 2-1 win.
Arsenal have not been accustomed to having goal-scoring defenders in recent years. However, having an extra source of goals can prove crucial in the long run for a team to achieve their targets which has been proven by other clubs in the past.
