Arsenal defender Gabriel has fired back at Brentford striker Ivan Toney trolling the England striker following their 3-0 win.
Goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and a first for Fabio Vieira were enough to hand Mikel Arteta's side the three points to send them back to the top of the table ahead of the international break.
The win meant the Gunners comfortably returned to winning ways following their defeat to Manchester United, two weeks ago.

The Bees ran out comfortable winners in the Premier League curtain-raiser last season, prompting Toney to tweet: "Nice kick about with the boys @Brentfordfc."
And now the Brazil international has replied indirectly to the Brentford striker after he sparked the feud following their opening day win over the north London side last year.
Following Sunday's comfortable win, the Gunners defender decided to fire back with the perfect response. He tweeted: "Nice kick about with the boys. @Arsenal."
During the recent airing of the 'Arsenal: All or Nothing' Amazon documentary, footage emerged of Arteta pulling the tweet up on the projector in the build-up to their reverse fixture at the Emirates.
Speaking before their meeting during the last campaign, the Spaniard said: "All week we have prepared, we have looked at everything, we want to play as much as possible. I insist here, and this is great, but what is going to make the difference now is what happens in both boxes.
"Before I go, because it's still in my stomach, and I have managed to keep it in my stomach for six months. This is Toney (show's tweet) after the game when we played them at Brentford.
"You know what he did, you know his tweet? 'Nice kickabout with the boys this afternoon'. So, today they play in our house guys, and there is only one team in that f****** pithead. Only team, they don't play, we take the f****** ball, we take the game and we go for it. Let's win this f****** game let's go."
Arsenal went on to win 2-1.
