Amid any pressure from Leicester, Gabriel did well to help contain that with a solid performance at the back.

The Brazilian dominated in the air, making three headed clearances while also winning both his attempted tackles. He won six duels and completed seven overall defensive actions.

Gabriel also helped out in attack and found himself high up the pitch putting pressure on the hosts on a number of occasions. It was a good performance from the centre back whose efforts were rewarded with a clean sheet.
