Arsenal fans heap praise on Gabriel Magalhaes after Olympiacos win

A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter heaped praise on Gabriel Magalhaes following the club’s 3-1 win over Olympiacos in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16.

The centre-back returned to the starting line-up after sitting out the last two games where Pablo Mari was preferred to partner David Luiz.

He could not do much to restrict the equalising goal (1-1) from Olympiacos before the hour mark which was gifted after a poor bit of play betwen Bernd Leno and Dani Ceballos.

However, he made the difference in the 79th minute with a towering and looping header in the box which found the top right corner of Olympiacos’ net.
