Arsenal defender Gabriel couldn’t resist a cheeky dig at former team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after he consigned Chelsea to a derby defeat against the Gunners.
The defender scored the only goal of the match as Arsenal continued their title charge with a superb 1-0 victory away at Stamford Bridge.
The build-up to the game had been dominated by the fact that Aubameyang was facing his former team for the first time since his exit last January.
The Gabon international was stripped of the captaincy and allowed to head to Barcelona after falling out with Mikel Arteta.
Aubameyang recorded a pre-match promo in which he said he was ‘ready’ for the game and that it was ‘nothing personal’ now that he was playing for rivals Chelsea.
Granit Xhaka was the only former Gunner to fully embrace Aubameyang during the pre-match handshakes and the attacker endured a difficult afternoon before being replaced in the second half.
Gabriel marshalled Aubameyang throughout and he had the perfect chance to take a dig at his former team-mate after he earned his club the win when he nodded in Bukayo Saka’s corner.
The Brazilian centre-back took to Twitter, cited Aubameyang’s BT Sport promo and reminded him that ‘London is Red’.
‘NOTHING PERSONAL..LONDON IS RED,’ Gabriel wrote in capitals.
