Impact Gabriel marked his 200th Premier League appearance by heading home Arsenal's second goal in the 68th minute, converting Ben White's cross to secure the victory. The Brazilian center-back also played an important role in the opening goal, directing Martin Odegaard's corner toward goal before Ezri Konsa converted the rebound. Gabriel has now recorded one goal, nine shots, 10 tackles, nine interceptions and 43 clearances across eight Premier League appearances this season. His commanding presence, aerial ability and defensive consistency continue to make him the leader of Arsenal's backline, while his threat from set pieces remains an important attacking weapon.

Impact Gabriel recorded two off-target shots and one interception while playing the full 90 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. He saw an improvised first-half backheel blocked by teammate Ezri Konsa before heading over from Declan Rice's corner after halftime, while also making important defensive interventions to deny Liam Delap during Forest's strongest attacking spell. Gabriel helped Arsenal withstand late pressure after Noni Madueke's winner, contributing to another clean sheet despite the hosts generating 14 shots.

The Brazilian also made eight line-breaking passes with no further contributions up front. He went on to make a recovery while lasting the full 90 minutes on the pitch. Nevertheless, James Justin's goal meant no clean sheet for Arsenal's defense, even though they went on to secure the three points from the clash.

Decent defensive outing despite loss Gabriel generated three tackles (two won) and five clearances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Brighton.

Impact Gabriel won two of three tackles and made five clearances across 90 minutes as Arsenal's left center-back, helping limit Brighton to two shots on target from open play despite a match where the home side dominated territorial possession throughout. He was unable to prevent any of Brighton's three goals, with each arriving from quality finishing rather than individual defensive errors. Gabriel and Arsenal turn to the international break having conceded three Premier League goals in a match for the first time this season.

Helps secure clean sheet Gabriel had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.

Impact Gabriel completed another full match at the heart of Arsenal's defense, contributing two interceptions as Sunderland were held scoreless.

Impact Gabriel registered two shots (both on target) and five clearances across his 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, combining aerial threat from set-pieces with the defensive authority that has made him Arsenal's most important centre-back in the absence of William Saliba. The Brazilian defender has now accumulated four interceptions and 14 clearances across his three Premier League appearances this season, and his ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch makes him one of the most complete centre-backs in the division

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Arsenal will be the best team in almost any match they play this season, with a brilliant defense giving them great clean sheet chances. Gabriel will have immense value off that alone.
