Arsenal legend Ian Wright and former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand have agreed in their assessment of Gabriel Magalhaes' 'rash' decisions. The Brazilian defender conceded a penalty in the 2-2 draw against West Ham as Said Benrahma converted his spot kick to bring the Hammers back into the game.
Early goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard handed the Gunners a perfect start at the London Stadium. A mistake from Thomas Partey led to Gabriel sliding in on Benrahma and conceding a penalty, handing West Ham a way back into a game they looked like there was no way back in to.
Jarrod Bowen equalised just minutes after Bukayo Saka missed a crucial penalty in the match - and title race - with Gabriel failing to deal with the ball as it looped over his head to the Hammers star to volley past Aaron Ramsdale. Jamie Carragher criticised Gabriel for a lack of composure in the clash against West Ham, but Wright has already highlighted how the Brazilian can be 'naive' at times.
