Gabriel Magalhães Nearing Gabriel Jesus’ Arsenal Goal Record
After scoring a crucial goal against West Ham, Gabriel Magalhães finds himself just one goal behind fellow Brazilian, Gabriel Jesus, in the race for the top Arsenal goal scorer. This comes as a pleasant surprise to many Arsenal fans, considering Magalhães’ prowess in scoring from set pieces.
Magalhães’ Goal-Scoring Prowess
Magalhães has shown a remarkable ability to find the back of the net, especially from corners. His first ever goal for Arsenal came on his debut, where he expertly headed home from a corner kick. This early display of goal-scoring prowess hinted at his potential to become a key player in Arsenal’s attacking strategies, particularly from set pieces.
His recent goal against West Ham marked his fourth goal of the season and his second in just four days, following a goal in the match against Sporting earlier in the week. With his current personal best standing at five goals, Magalhães is well on his way to having his most productive goal-scoring campaign yet. His total tally of 19 goals for Arsenal showcases his consistent contribution to the team’s success.
Chasing Gabriel Jesus’ Record
Despite the impressive goal-scoring record of Gabriel Magalhães, he remains just one goal shy of Gabriel Jesus’ tally of 20 goals for Arsenal. While Magalhães arrived at the club two years ahead of Jesus, the fact that a defender is in close competition with a striker in terms of goals highlights the challenges Jesus has faced in his Arsenal career.
Gabriel Jesus’ goal-scoring numbers have fluctuated over the seasons, with his most prolific campaign seeing him net 11 goals. However, the expectation for a striker is to consistently deliver around 20 goals per season, making Jesus’ current tally slightly underwhelming.
Support and Respect Among Arsenal Fans
As Arsenal fans, it is important to celebrate the achievements of players like Gabriel Magalhães while also acknowledging the challenges faced by others like Gabriel Jesus. Regardless of individual opinions, a sense of respect and support should prevail within the fan community.
So, Arsenal fans, let’s continue to cheer on our players as they strive for success on the field. Whether it’s a defender like Magalhães closing in on a goal-scoring record or a striker like Jesus navigating through ups and downs, every player deserves our encouragement and appreciation. After all, it costs nothing to be polite and supportive towards our fellow Arsenal fans.
Let’s keep the spirit of camaraderie alive and contribute positively to the Arsenal fan community. And who knows, maybe we’ll witness more historic moments and records being broken by our beloved Gunners in the seasons to come.
