GARY NEVILLE has found himself in the scope of Arsenal fans once again following Gabriel Magalhaes' opener against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal romped to a 5-0 win over Crystal Palace, with Gabriel proving to be lethal from set plays.

Gabriel took just 11 minutes to power home a header from a Martin Odegaard corner.

However, Manchester United legend Neville took to X, formerly known as Twitter and shared a screenshot of Gabriel towering over a Crystal Palace defender.

He captioned his post: "Arsenal fans think this is a foul then ????????," as a reference to when he butted heads with Gooners following their defeat to Newcastle in November.

Anthony Gordon's winner in that game was subject to a triple check by VAR which included a foul check on Gabriel for an apparent push in the back before the goal stood.

One furious Arsenal fan responded to Neville by saying: "You’re just proving our point that your a hypocrite.

"Happens against us. You have no issue with it, Happens for is. You immediately comment on it crying. You’re truly pathetic."

Dragon's Den star Neville then issued a response of his own, by declaring: "No mate I don’t think it’s a foul like I didn’t at Newcastle."

Arsenal have often been on the end of dubious decisions from officials this season.

Mikel Arteta was not punished after his scathing comments after the Newcastle defeat where he labelled the decision to let the Gordon goal stand as a "disgrace".

Regardless, the Gunners will not have to worry about referee calls until their next game against Nottingham Forest on January 30.

Gabriel would have had a second goal against Palace were it not for a TV camera angle showing his second header was actually going off target before Dean Henderson inadvertently deflected it in.
