It has been just over a month since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lifted the FA Cup, ending Arsenal’s 2019-20 season. But in the first Premier League game, a very different lineup from Gunners was found.
In particular, new contracts are at the center. Both Brazilian rookies Willian and Gabriel Magalhaes stand out, contributing to Arsenal’s 3-0 win over newly promoted Fulham.

Having only trained with the new team for a short time, both Willian and Gabriel received the main kicks. All have fully returned the beliefs of Mr. Arteta. While Gabriel has 1 goal, Willian has 2 assists, not to mention the conditions for Alexandre Lacazette to open the scoring.
Arsenal still have a lot of work to do and there will be a lot of changes after the transfer window closes on October 6. But the way the Gunners easily defeated “bottom door” team like Fulham at Craven Cottage bodes well for the rest. back of the campaign.
With the end of last season so good, Arteta understands the importance of staying excited. The new campaign that took place immediately after just 1 month also contributed to that of this Arsenal.
Coach Arteta must be very satisfied with his students |
Before the game, two Arsenal affiliates, Dani Ceballos and Eddie Nketiah, spoke with hands and feet. But they were able to fix and see the big picture, everything with the Gunners last Saturday was easy.
The brand of the newbie
Gabriel played center-back in Arsenal’s midfield trio against Fulham. An important role, adding “strange country, strange things”, but the Brazilian player completed the task smoothly, better than expected.
Not only was he confident on defense, Gabriel was significantly involved in Arsenal’s style of play. The 22-year-old confidently holds the ball and thrusts forward. In all, he made 113 passes, at least 20 more than any other teammate, and 106 of them were successful.
Gabriel is the author of the table to make the score 2-0 |
On rare occasions Fulham had the ball in the last third of Arsenal’s field, Gabriel also effectively intervened to steal. There will surely be more difficult tests for the new signing of the London team.
But from this match, you can understand why Napoli, Man United and Chelsea are supposed to want Gabriel. And so, Arsenal is the lucky one to have this Brazilian.
It was the perfect debut for Gabriel, as was his compatriot Willian, who took the corner to bravely hit his head to make it 2-0. At that time, Arsenal had firm control of the game, took the lead and played comfortably in their own way.
Arsenal have 2 assists, Fulham vs Arsenal |
Willian has a 100% pass rate in the first half. It’s a reliable target on Arsenal’s balls, the one that kicks goalkeeper Fulham, before Lacazette easily shoves the ball into the empty net.
The second half continued to see Willian show his best form, unlike a 32-year-old. In the 49th and 57th minutes respectively, the Brazilian midfielder passed the ball to Gabriel and Aubameyang to “rip through the net” for Fulham.
It was a great day for Arsenal as they did well both on defense and attack. Two rookies Willian and Gabriel have adapted quickly, while the two mainstays of recent years, Lacazette and Aubameyang, have scored. Arteta’s smile has never been so bright!
