Former Man Utd and England midfielder Paul Scholes (Picture: YouTube) Paul Scholes says Gabriel Magalhaes ‘gets away with murder’ after avoiding a red card in Arsenal’s recent win over Chelsea. The Premier League champions maintained their perfect start to the new season with a 2-1 win over London rivals Chelsea on Sunday. While trailing to Morgan Rogers’ early volley, Gabriel was perhaps fortunate not to see red after kicking Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in the head during a scramble in the box. The referee’s view was obstructed by several players and VAR did not intervene, much to the surprise of Manchester United legends Scholes and Nicky Butt.

He’s gone miles over the bar.’ After podcast host Paddy McGuinness suggested Gabriel routinely ‘gets away with murder’, Scholes responded: ‘He does, yeah. ‘You get some players like that. Like, say me or Nicky made a foul, we got booked. Then there’s other players who can make ten fouls a game and nothing happens. Gabriel after Arsenal’s win over Chelsea (Picture: Getty) ‘They get up and go to the referee, “oh, I’m sorry”. Do you know what I mean? They get away with it when other players don’t, and he’s one of them, isn’t he?’ Fellow former England midfielder Butt added: ‘It was ridiculous. If they don’t think that’s a sending off then there’s no point of having VAR. I don’t understand it.’ Ex-Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney also felt Gabriel should have seen red for his wild kick at new Chelsea goalkeeper Martinez. How this was not a foul? Gabriel kicking Martinez on head, should have been straight RED. #ARSCHE pic.twitter.com/5icTyXMmh9— The Final Whistle (@Rufus_45) September 6, 2026 Analysing the incident on BBC’s Match of the Day, Rooney said: ‘You don’t really see it at first sight but then when you see a replay and they slow it down… ‘Martinez has got the ball in his hands and Gabriel boots him in the head, he swings a leg and goes way over the top. He’s extremely lucky to stay on the pitch.’ Former England defender Ashley Young added: ‘I agree. When the ball is on the floor and Martinez has it, Gabriel kicks so high. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"'It was beautiful': Arteta hails Arsenal's attack-to-defence display in win against Chelsea","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/2593273995855020828\/480x270_MP4_2593273995855020828.mp4","description":"Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium after Morgan Rogers stunned home fans into silence with a volleyed goal 77 seconds into the game.","duration":"T5M27S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091359-0-image-a-53_1788761962819.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:17:08+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘I’m not sure why it hasn’t gone to VAR of if they’ve properly studied it because he’s nowhere the ball.

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit (Picture: talkSPORT) Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has already ruled one team out of this season’s Premier League title race. Defending champions Arsenal made a strong start to the season with comfortable victories over Coventry and Aston Villa in the opening fortnight of the season. And Mikel Arteta’s side laid down a further marker last weekend by coming from behind to beat London rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners currently sit second in the table behind Manchester City, who have made an equally encouraging start to life under Enzo Maresca. Sign up for In The Mixer, Metro's football newsletter Get exclusive analysis and previews of the biggest games every Friday. Sign up now for free. Despite losing several key players over the summer, City have won each of their opening three games, with new signings Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye making their debuts against Coventry City to add further depth to Maresca’s squad. Chelsea, meanwhile, sit fourth after their defeat to Arsenal, Xabi Alonso’s first loss in a competitive match since arriving at Stamford Bridge. The west London club have once again spent lavishly over the summer, with Morgan Rogers the marquee capture for a British-record transfer fee. Martin Odegaard helped Arsenal beat Chelsea to continue their perfect start to their title defence (Picture: Getty) But the Blues also added experience throughout the spine of their team, with the late signing of Emiliano Martinez a clear upgrade on previous first-choice Robert Sanchez. With no European football this season, Petit believes his former club should be aiming for at least a top-four finish this time around. But the Frenchman believes it is too early to consider Chelsea as genuine title contenders in what is ultimately Alonso’s first season as a manager in the English top-flight. Xabi Alonso lost his first game as Chelsea boss at the weekend (Picture: Getty) ‘I’m optimistic, as I said, for many reasons, but I believe in Alonso, and I really believe with the feeling of revenge from the players,’ Petit told talkSPORT. ‘I think so many players in the team last season were disappointed, and I expect something good this season. They owe something to the fans, to the club, but to themselves too. ‘I think they failed last season on so many points, but first of all, I think the commitment was not there.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Alonso: Chelsea made to 'hurt' by Arsenal during 2-1 defeat","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/4710295427016078709\/480x270_MP4_4710295427016078709.mp4","description":"1-0 up. 2-1 loss.","duration":"T6M45S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091357-0-image-a-105_1788761969650.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:19:25+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); Petit continued: ‘For me, it would be a failure if Chelsea don’t reach the Champions League spot at the end of the season. I think this is the minimum they can do. ‘As I said, I think Arsenal will win back-to-back Premier Leagues. As I said again, Chelsea will fight until the end for the title, but I think it’s probably too soon this season for Chelsea to be a real contender until the end. ‘But I
Estevao wants to get back into the starting XI at Chelsea (Picture: Getty Images) Xabi Alonso insists there are no issues with winger Estevao after reports that the youngster is growing frustrated at Chelsea. The 19-year-old was unveiled at Stamford Bridge in August last year and showed very exciting glimpses over 36 appearances last season, scoring eight goals. The teenager has already won 11 caps for Brazil, scoring five times for his country, with many expecting him to develop into a global superstar. However, this season has started slowly, making two substitute appearances in the Premier League so far, totally 16 minutes on the field. Sign up for In The Mixer, Metro's football newsletter Get exclusive analysis and previews of the biggest games every Friday. Sign up now for free. He did start a Carabao Cup win over Luton Town, but top flight action is what he will want, especially given there is no European football for Chelsea this season. ESPN Brasil reported that Estevao has concerns over his game time at Chelsea and the position he will be deployed when he is on the pitch. The report states that he would prefer one of the central positions taken up by Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers to the right wing-back role in which Pedro Neto has been playing. Estevao had a very bright cameo in Chelsea’s defeat at Arsenal (Picture: Getty Images) He is not getting much of a chance in either position at the moment and he could push for a move elsewhere if that continues, according to the report from his homeland. Alonso has dismissed talk of the youngster being unsettled, though, with Estevao likely to get another run out in the Carabao Cup against Leeds United on Wednesday. ‘No, Este is ready. He’s training well,’ Alonso told a press conference on whether Estevao is unhappy. ‘The other day [against Arsenal], he had a good impact and a good chance. ‘With Este, I count on him 100 per cent because of his potential because he’s so young. The season is going to be long.’ Xabi Alonso expects Estevao to play a part for him this season (Picture: Getty Images) On whether he has spoken to the teenager, the Chelsea boss said: ‘Private conversations should remain private. ‘The season is going to be long. The players have the desire and the hunger to improve. ‘Este is part of the group – he has a very good attitude and mentality to prepare for every game.’ Estevao will feature against Leeds, but summer signing Marco Palestra and Moises Caicedo remain out with injuries. ‘Not yet,’ Alonso said of the pair’s availability. ‘They’re still not ready to go. It’s not the moment to take too early of a risk. We’ll go game by game with them, but it’s too early.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
Arsenal star Kai Havertz may be the best false nine on the planet, says Joe Cole (Picture: Getty) Joe Cole has praised Kai Havertz’s ‘absolutely sensational’ performance against Chelsea and believes the German may be the best false nine in world football. Arsenal got off to a nightmare start in Sunday’s derby as Morgan Rogers fired a stunning volley beyond David Raya to open the scoring after only two minutes. But Havertz helped inspire a spirited comeback from the Premier League champions, equalising with a precise finish past Emiliano Martinez before playing a key role in Martin Odegaard’s winner shortly after half-time. While Christos Tzolis provided the assist for Odegaard’s decisive strike, it was Havertz’s exquisite dummy in the build-up that earned many of the plaudits as the Gunners held firm to maintain their 100 per cent record.

The result moved Mikel Arteta’s side level on points at the top of the table with Manchester City, the only other side in the division with three wins from their first three contests. Havertz and Co will look to pick up where they left off when they return to top-flight action away to Sunderland – first, though, Arteta’s men do battle with Napoli in Champions League on Wednesday night. ‘It burns me every time I see him playing for Arsenal and performing the way he performed,’ Cole said of Havertz while reflecting on the derby on The Dressing Room Podcast. Havertz had a hand in both of Arsenal’s goals against Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Odegaard completed the Gunners’ fightback in a compelling derby (Picture: PA) ‘He was absolutely sensational in that position and we sleep on him constantly. ‘We did a highlights reel of him and it could have been 15 minutes with the touches, the way he was dropping in, the dummy for Odegaard’s goal. ‘As a centre-forward, that false nine, is there a better player at that role in world football?’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"'It was beautiful': Arteta hails Arsenal's attack-to-defence display in win against Chelsea","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/2593273995855020828\/480x270_MP4_2593273995855020828.mp4","description":"Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium after Morgan Rogers stunned home fans into silence with a volleyed goal 77 seconds into the game.","duration":"T5M27S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091359-0-image-a-53_1788761962819.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:17:08+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); According to Cole, Arsenal were able to claw themselves back into the game with their ‘dominance’ in the midfield. ‘Moises Caicedo being injured was a little dampener. Romeo Lavia is a good player but he just can’t seem to keep himself fit for a sustained period of time,’ he added. ‘Reece James, Malo Gusto, whoever plays in there with him, it’s not Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo. ‘I thought Arsenal just slightly dominated that midfield area and that allowed them to build into the game but there’s a lot to be proud of for Chelsea.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Alonso: Che
Joe Cole has been blown away by Chelsea’s big-money signing Morgan Rogers (The Dressing Room Podcast) Joe Cole says he ‘didn’t realise’ quite how good Morgan Rogers was following his move to Chelsea, branding the attacker an ‘absolute monster’. Chelsea smashed their transfer record to sign Rogers after reaching a £117million agreement with Aston Villa for the 24-year-old England international back in July. Arsenal had initially been in pole position to capture Rogers but were blown out of the water by their fierce London rivals in one of the most compelling transfer sagas of the summer. Rogers has hit the ground running with the Blues, registering two goals and an assist in his three opening Premier League appearances under the tutelage of Xabi Alonso.

His latest strike came just two minutes into Sunday’s heavyweight clash with Arsenal, with the former Villa man firing a low volley past David Raya to send the away end into raptures at the Emirates. The Gunners came from behind to emerge victorious, though, as Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard scored either side of half-time to preserve their 100 per cent record in the Premier League. Though disappointed with the result in the derby, ex-Chelsea winger Cole has been encouraged what he has seen from Alonso’s side at this embryonic stage of the campaign. Rogers fired Chelsea in front against Arsenal with a brilliant volley (Picture: Reuters) Arsenal rallied after Rogers’ strike to come away 2-1 victors (Picture: Getty) However, he fears the Blues may have left themselves a little short in central midfield after failing to tie down a replacement for Enzo Fernandez on transfer deadline day. ‘It’s really exciting at Chelsea. I went to Stamford Bridge to watch the game against Brighton and the front three of Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro just looked electric so that gives you great excitement,’ Cole said on The Dressing Room Podcast. ‘Moises Caicedo being injured was a little dampener.

Paul Scholes has suggested there may be some history between Declan Rice and Morgan Rogers after the England team-mates clashed at the Emirates on Sunday.
Troy Deeney is not a fan of Viktor Gyokeres (Picture: Paramount Plus) Troy Deeney fears Mikel Arteta is on the verge of giving up on Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Sweden international joined the Gunners 12 months ago and was expected to end their search for the lethal centre forward they had been missing since the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Gyokeres amassed a respectable 22 goals in all competitions over the course of his debut season in English football but failed to fully win the faith of his manager who was reported to have wanted to sign Benjamin Sesko instead. Kai Havertz’s return to form and fitness has seen him firmly usurp Gyokeres as Arteta’s go-to centre forward at the start of the current campaign.

Indeed, the 28-year-old was an unused substitute in the first two Premier League games of the season before Sunday’s error-strewn cameo against Chelsea. ‘Watch his highlights (against Chelsea), wow,’a disbelieving Deeney told Paramount Plus. ‘It’s like a horse trying to control a ball. ‘It’s a limitation problem. This guy gets credit for running the channels, so many times the ball comes up to him and bounces off him. Viktor Gyokeres struggled against Chelesa after coming on in the closing stages (Picture: Getty Images) ‘So many times when they’ve got a counter-attack and he takes a big touch. I see why they tried to replace him. ‘He was brought in to give them that extra option but if I’m a coach now I’ve got Havertz who can link the game and do everything great, I’ve got Merino who can do that. ‘I think Arteta looks at this guy in training and goes ‘what am I supposed to do with that’. ‘He’s 27 or 28 and he’s not going to get tactically much better, he’s not going to get technically much better at this point. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"'It was beautiful': Arteta hails Arsenal's attack-to-defence display in win against Chelsea","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/07\/2593273995855020828\/480x270_MP4_2593273995855020828.mp4","description":"Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium after Morgan Rogers stunned home fans into silence with a volleyed goal 77 seconds into the game.","duration":"T5M27S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/07\/07\/111091359-0-image-a-53_1788761962819.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-07T07:17:08+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘That’s why they were trying to move him on to get Alvarez, that’s why he was linked with everyone else within the deals.
