Mikel Arteta has revealed Gabriel Magalhaes was substituted late on in Arsenal’s 5-1 rout of Sporting Lisbon.
Gabriel was substituted late on after scoring a header and Arteta almost brought on Raheem Sterling to finish the game off. Only to bring on Jakub Kiwior instead. “We
didn’t know (how serious it was) because he said he wasn’t feeling well,” Arteta said. “
I almost brought on Raze (Sterling), sorry for him but I couldn’t make another sub and we had to take him (Gabriel) off.”
Arsenal travel to London rivals West Ham in the Premier League this weekend and will be hoping Gabriel will be fit, with
the result in Lisbon meaning the Gunners have scored five goals in a Champions League away game for the first time since 2008. “
I am very happy, it’s a great performance against a strong opponent,” Arteta said to ทางเข้า https://ufabet999.app.
“I felt a really good energy and belief going into the game. The first half was excellent, we were very intelligent and efficient, especially in attack. “
After conceding the goal we showed great character to come back into the game, then we scored the fourth goal and that was another game changer. “
You have to enjoy, when you play in this competition against these teams, you have to enjoy. What I like about this team is the way they flow. “They
play with a sense of purpose. If you want to challenge for big trophies you have to be consistent.”
