Any team with this many Gabriels should be able to blow its own trumpet now and then, and Arsenal have plenty to be proud of about their start to this season.
Crystal Palace are a good team and will cause plenty of teams plenty of problems, particularly with the vociferous Selhurst Park crowd behind them. That Arsenal took a merited first-half lead and then held it under pressure is to their credit.
So is the efficient melding of established players, young and old, with the fruits of summer transfer business. As for the Gabriels – well, Martinelli scored, Jesus was an impressive handful and Magalhaes was outstanding at the back.
