Gabriel Paulista is fast becoming a fans' favorite at the Emirates stadium and his display against the Potters this week has endeared him more to the Gooners.
After moving to North London this January, the Brazilian has struggled for game time under Wenger. But whenever handed the chance, he has done well. The form of Koscielny and Mertesacker has kept Gabriel out of the team for most part but the fact that Arsenal has never lost when Gabriel has played means Wenger may need to re think before dropping him for Mertesacker ahead of the clash against Chelsea next week. Gabriel has appeared for Arsenal 11 times and has a record of 10 wins and a draw which came against Liverpool this season.
But its not just that. The defender has been impressive whenever he has played for Arsenal - that last ditch tackle against Romelu Lukaku last season being a particular highlight. His aggressive nature and pace is suited to Arsenal's play and has attracted many admirers among Arsenal supporters. The fans certainly would have liked it when Gabriel elbowed Arnautovic to the ground, given the history between the fans of both teams.
