Rio Ferdinand and Ian Wright agree on Gabriel Magalhaes verdict after Arsenal draw vs West Ham

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.
