Another defender, this is becoming a bit of a trend isn't it? Gabriel Magalhaes was another of Arsenal's standout performers against Forest as he also played a significant role in some solid defending.

The Brazil international made a good tackle on Chris Wood in the opening minutes to deny the striker a run at goal. He continued to help keep the Forest attack quiet all evening as he made seven clearances and won seven duels.

Gabriel was visibly frustrated and upset at full time but he did his job so there is no faulting what was a standout performance from him.
