🎙️ Former Arsenal player and current West Ham goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański on the incident involving his punch on Gabriel Magalhães, which led to the penalty for the fifth goal:
“He is tall and an strong in the air, So he [Gabriel] outjumped me,” the 39-year-old said. “I tried to reach the ball, but he came from the blind side and fast. I was focused on the ball.”
“It’s a disappointing day, our target was to be on the front foot, to press high and be in possession of the ball. But we made some sloppy mistakes, and Arsenal punished us.”
If it is because of a concussion however, he will definitely miss that game at Emirates Stadium due to the Premier League’s protocols around head injuries. Gabriel was already a doubt heading into the London derby having departed the Champions League clash away at Sporting CP with some discomfort.
