Arsenal’s Premier League title ambitions suffered another major blow as Fulham lost 2-1 to Mikel Arteta’s side at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
Arsenal icon Ian Wright was left fuming at Gabriel Magalhais after the heavy defeat to Fulham.
Mikel Arteta’s side looked to bounce back from Thursday’s defeat to West Ham and will be hoping to return to the top of the Premier League after Bukayo Saka put them ahead. However, Raul Jimenez scored the winner just before the break and just before the hour mark following a questionable save from Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
And the decisive nature of the goal infuriated Wright, who pointed the finger at defender Gabriel after he failed to challenge the striker when he shot. “Gabriel Magalhaes is a very big man and Bobby de Córdoba-Reid is a small man. I thought he should have been more dominant in that situation,” he told Premier League Productions.
Piers Morgan worries about ‘horrible’ Arsenal and highlights Mikel Arteta’s transfer mistakes.
“It goes over your head but you don’t have to wait for your legs to come out, you have to move to attack the ball. You are the guardian. You have to be on track and ready to respond. “An error of this magnitude incurs enormous costs.”
The 60-year-old, who won the title with Arsenal in 1997/98, also questioned the lack of a ‘Plan B’ under Mikel Arteta, saying opponents were turning to his side. . Analysts have identified four key figures who could be targeted by the opposition. As well as club record signing Declan Rice, Wright also oversaw the treatment of Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard. “Bukayo Saka has to keep the ball up. People will be excited about Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard, so those are the things they need to work on,” added Wright.
