Gabriel Takes Slight Dig At Aubameyang After Arsenal Win At Stamford Bridge

Gabriel taunted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday by mimicking a pre-game advert recorded by the striker and saying “nothing personal, London is red.”

Gabriel tweet added salt to Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang’s wounds. The Brazilian defender scored the lone goal in the Gunners’ 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, which returned Mikel Arteta’s team to the top of the table.

After Bukayo Saka’s 63rd-minute corner came to his feet, he hammered the ball into the goal from close range.

Immediately before the final whistle, he made a snide comment about his former teammate Aubameyang.

Aubameyang appeared in a promotional video for BT Sport prior to the London derby, in which he stated, “Arsenal, nothing personal. I’m back. I’m blue. I’m ready.”

Gabriel responded to his comments with a fantastic tweet: “Nothing personal, London is Red.”

Gabriel is no stranger to post-match humor, as he mimicked Ivan Toney’s old tweet following Arsenal’s 3-0 September victory over Brentford.

The former Lille star, who recently signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal, is having a spectacular season for the Gunners.

He has scored twice in 18 matches across all competitions in which he has started all 13 Premier League games for the Gunners.

As for Aubameyang, the Gabon international has failed to score in his previous five Premier League matches for Chelsea.

Graham Potter chose to substitute the 33-year-old after Gabriel’s goal because he had failed to make an impression.

In a poor performance, he had only four touches in the first half, when he was penalized for a terrible tackle on Ben White.

Before being replaced by Armando Broja, he managed only four additional touches in the second half.

Arsenal are now 13 points ahead of Chelsea and will be top of the table at Christmas if they win their final game before the World Cup break, away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
