'He’s rash and he makes mad, wild decisions': Rio Ferdinand takes aim at Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes for costly penalty against West Ham and suggests Mikel Arteta could lose trust in him after 'rush of blood'

Rio Ferdinand has cast doubt over Gabrel Magalhaes' decision-making after slamming the Arsenal defender for making 'mad, wild decisions'.

The 25-year-old was at fault for West Ham's first goal in Sunday's 2-2 draw that ensured Arsenal drop points in the Premier League title race for the second consecutive match.

Gabriel hacked Hammers midfielder Lucas Paqueta to the floor inside the box after Thomas Partey initially gave the ball away inside the Arsenal half.

Former United defender Ferdinand tore into Gabriel for showing a lack of calmness in the game that could have a huge result on the title race.
