"Arsenal fans will hardly believe it, but their star centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes has committed an absolutely shocking error by gifting a goal to Bournemouth star Evanilson. The Gunners found themselves behind early on as Gabriel somehow just completely lost the plot for a moment and passed the ball into his own penalty area for Evanilson to find the back of the net with ease."
"However, in classic Gabriel fashion, he's almost immediately made up for his mistake with a fine finish to make it 1-1. A surprisingly prolific scorer considering he's a centre-back, the Brazil international did well to steer the ball in after some fine work by Noni Madueke after an initial Declan Rice free-kick was cleared away. See below for the Gabriel goal in what has been an eventful opening 20 minutes of the game for him!"
Gabriel Magalhaes miscontrolled possession and passed the ball into his own penalty area, allowing Evanilson to score an easy early goal and put Bournemouth ahead. The error was uncharacteristic for Gabriel, who is typically one of Arsenal's most reliable defenders. Gabriel quickly redeemed himself by steering in a finish after Noni Madueke's build-up and a cleared Declan Rice free-kick, leveling the score at 1-1 inside the opening twenty minutes. Arsenal entered the match four points clear at the top of the Premier League and aimed to secure three points amid a title race with Manchester City. Bournemouth had shown mixed recent form.
