From the source
Gary Neville has criticised Gabriel Magalhães for what he described as “absolutely embarrassing” play-acting during Arsenal’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Liverpool at Anfield. Gabriel was involved in an early confrontation with Alexander Isak after the Liverpool striker made contact with him around the upper chest.
The Arsenal defender immediately went to ground clutching his face, prompting a frustrated reaction from Neville on commentary. The incident did not ultimately overshadow an excellent defensive performance from Arsenal, who held on to Kai Havertz’s first-half goal to secure their first league victory at Anfield since 2012.
As reported by Metro, Neville felt Gabriel had let himself down despite otherwise being a player he greatly admires. The former Manchester United defender said: “He does let himself down at times.”
