Arsenal star Gabriel Magalhaes reignites feud as he brutally mocks Spurs player Richarlison after historic North London derby win
Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes wasted little time taunting Tottenham following his side’s emphatic north London derby triumph on Sunday afternoon.
The Brazilian centre-back uploaded an image to Instagram showing himself on the team coach, displaying a playing card bearing the number four, referring to the scoreline.
Gabriel made sure to tag fellow countryman Richarlison in the post, reigniting their ongoing social media sparring match.
The 28-year-old posed in his Arsenal tracksuit alongside his man of the match award, a packet of M&Ms, and a can of Rio during the short journey back across north London.
Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres proved the difference at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, netting twice apiece in the comprehensive victory.
Eze opened the scoring before Randal Kolo Muani drew Spurs level to send the sides in at half-time on equal terms.
The second period belonged entirely to Arsenal, however, with Gyokeres finding the net either side of Eze’s second goal on the hour mark.
The result marked Igor Tudor’s first match as Spurs interim manager, ending in humiliation for the hosts.

Mikel Arteta’s men dominated throughout, registering 20 shots compared to just six from Tottenham across the entire contest.
The rivalry between the two Brazilians traces back to last July, when Richarlison shared a photograph of his man of the match award following Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal during a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong, tagging Gabriel in the process.
Gabriel responded by posting an image featuring three previous man of the match awards he had claimed against Spurs — one from a 3-2 triumph in 2023-24 and both victories the following campaign.
He now adds another to that collection.
