Gary Neville Slams Arsenal's Gabriel for Play-Acting in Premier League Win Over Liverpool
English Premier League · 20:17:04 - Tuesday, 3 November 2026

Former Manchester United defender and television pundit Gary Neville has criticized Arsenal defender Gabriel for what he described as "play-acting" during Arsenal's Premier League victory over Liverpool on Sunday.

Neville, speaking on his broadcast role, called the incident "absolutely embarrassing" and accused the Brazilian center-back of exaggerating contact to gain an advantage.

The match, part of the 2026/27 Premier League season, saw Arsenal secure a win against Liverpool, but the post-match discussion focused on Gabriel's behavior during a key moment.
