Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has sent a message to Gabriel Magalhaes following his error against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The Gunners secured their fifth-straight win with a 3-2 victory over the Cherries. However, they made the worst possible start with Gabriel gifting Evanilson with the opening goal with a poor pass.
Gabriel redeemed himself by scoring the equaliser five minutes later. Rice bagged a brace in the second half for the Gunners before Junior Kroupi's late consolation for the hosts at the Vitality Stadium.
Speaking after the game, Rice praised the character of Gabriel for responding with a vital goal after a forgettable error early on, he said:
"It showed the character of Gabriel to make the mistake and then how he played for the rest of the game, it showed the mentality of the team."
Arsenal have moved six points ahead of Aston Villa and seven in front of Manchester City after the win. The latter have a game in hand.
