Gabriel Magalhaes delivers brilliant response when told his second header against Crystal Palace went down as a Dean Henderson own goal... and Brazilian praises compatriot Gabriel Martinelli for his brace

Arsenal centre back Gabriel Magalhaes delivered a brilliant response when he found out his second headed effort was ruled to be an own goal.

The Gunners got back to winning ways with a commanding performance against a poor Crystal Palace side.

Gabriel opened the scoring with a powerful header from an inswinging corner and he thought he had grabbed the game's second 20 minutes later. 

However the Dubious Goals Committee awarded the goal as a Dean Henderson own goal, denying the Brazilian his second of the day.

Upon hearing the goal was not his, Gabriel produced a good natured reaction when stood alongside international team-mate Gabriel Martinelli, who came off the bench to score a brace. 

Gabriel Magalhaes was heavily involved in both of Arsenal's goals in a busy first half of football

The Brazilian produced a towering effort when he rose above the Crystal Palace defence

However he offered a light-hearted response on learning he had not been awarded a second

Speaking with TNT Sports at full-time Gabriel said: 'Oh f-... yeah, but I'm still so happy to score two goals today and help the team.'

The big centre back clearly managed to catch himself from swearing just at the right time.

Gabriel has two goals so far this season in the Premier League, and has proved a nuisance in both boxes. 

Mikel Arteta's side needed to bounce back with this win after some disappointing results in all competitions this campaign. 

A trip to Dubai seems to have revitalised the Gunners, who came out the blocks firing on all cylinders to score within the first 11 minutes. 

Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to deliver two very calm and very similar finishes

The young Brazilian will look to kick on from these goals after struggling for scoring form early in the campaign

But it was fellow team-mate Martinelli who stole the limelight with an excellent cameo off the bench. 

Gabriel said: 'Of course, I'm so happy for Martinelli, to come off the bench and score twice to help the team. I think if he'd have had one more minute, he would have scored three goals!' 

Arsenal move up to third in the league, level on points with Manchester City but Pep Guardiola's side has a game in hand. 

Liverpool still lead at the top of the table and could extend the gap between them City and Arsenal with a win over Bournemouth on Sunday.
