Marco Silva admits Gabriel Magalhaes is ‘impossible to stop’ from set-pieces after Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday night.

Mikel Arteta’s side delivered another solid defensive display, while Leandro Trossard’s goal in the 58th minute was enough to secure the win at Craven Cottage.

Arsenal’s goal once again came from a corner as Gabriel’s flick at the near post was met by Trossard at the back post, who kneed the ball over the line from close range.

Gabriel’s assist was his 20th goal involvement since joining Arsenal in 2020 and Silva says struggling to contain the Brazilian defender at set-pieces is a struggle.

‘When you lose a game, it is always a disappointing one. They were at a very good level,’ Silva told BBC’s Match of the Day.
