Following Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, there were a number of players arguably in contention for the various Teams of the Week.

WhoScored selected two Gabriels for the honour, with Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli both featuring in their side.

Gabriel Magalhaes was an obvious pick, with the defender helping to keep a clean sheet at one end and scoring the winning goal at the other. WhoScored’s Sam Hammond highlighted his two tackles, two blocks, and eight clearances as well as the goal.

As for Martinelli, Hammond points to the winger’s two chances created, six successful dribbles, three tackles, three clearances, and 11 duels won on the day.

The BBC’s Troy Deeney also selected Gabriel for his Team of the Week, praising the defender’s “great header for the goal” and a “monstrous display from Arsenal defensively”.

Deeney went on to suggest that both Gabriel and William Saliba impressed in the derby, but the Brazilian had the edge thanks to his goal.

The BBC team also included former Gunner Emile Smith Rowe, after his assist for Fulham at the weekend. Deeney wrote that Smith Rowe “probably had to leave Arsenal to go to a smaller pond and be that big fish”, calling the midfielder’s display “excellent”.

Arsenal will need a couple more big performances from their key players this week, with Atalanta away on Thursday followed by Manchester City away on Sunday.

The upside is that after this week of tough away fixtures, Arsenal will enter a run of four straight home games. They just need to get through the next six days first.
