Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes lost a tooth during the game at Brighton...the Brazilian is willing to put his body on the line and is a symbol of their new-found defensive strength

Once again following a meeting with Brighton, Gabriel Magalhaes emerged from the Arsenal dressing room long after the final whistle and headed back on to the pitch to search one of the penalty areas for a missing tooth.

The same happened, strangely, after Arsenal’s 2-0 home win against Brighton on last season’s final day.

At the Amex, he suffered the costly blow to his face as he challenged Seagulls keeper Robert Sanchez and defender Lewis Dunk for a second-half corner.

Gabriel was just as willing to put his body on the line at the other end, too.
