Gabriel Magalhaes sends emotional message after Arsenal's crushing defeat to Man City

Gabriel Magalhaes has sent Arsenal fans an emotional message after Wednesday night's crushing defeat to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side beat the Gunners 4-1, giving themselves a huge advantage in this season's Premier League title race. Mikel Arteta's men went into the game at the Etihad Stadium five points clear of City in second, although the hosts have two games in hand on their title rivals.

But the north Londoners' hopes of winning the league look far less likely after the reigning champions dominated them from start to finish, with goals from John Stones, Erling Haaland and a Kevin De Bruyne brace clinching all three points for the Citizens. The result is a real sucker-punch for Arsenal fans considering they were eight points clear at the top of the table earlier this month and centre-back Gabriel has now taken to social media to voice his feelings after the game.

Writing on Instagram, the Brazilian international said: "I love this club, I love this squad, I feel at home and this is where I want to win and achieve my goals. We will not give up, we will fight and honour the Arsenal shirt until the end.

"There is always room on the stage of victory for the warriors who never give up after a fall. (Heart emoji)."
