Arsenal star trolls two Aston Villa players as Emiliano Martinez takes bitter swipe at referee

Arsenal finally ended Aston Villa's club-record 11-match unbeaten streak in all competitions after beating Unai Emery's men 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night

Gabriel Magalhaes has certainly basked in the glory of Arsenal's 4-1 thumping of fellow Premier League title rivals Aston Villa.

The Brazilian, who broke the deadlock early in the second half, has caused a stir on social media after appearing to mock Villa midfielder Amadou Onana after the game.

In recent weeks, during Villa's club-record 11-match unbeaten run, Onana has pretended to 'put three points in his pocket' as he walks back to the dressing room sporting a beaming smile.

Footage has regularly been captured by Villa's video and social media content team and has proved hugely popular online, going viral.

However, this time, Gabriel decided to replicate the Belgian powerhouse's party trick as he re-entered the Arsenal dressing room following last night's victory.

The footage has since been published on Arsenal's social media channels, sparking outrage amongst Villa supporters.

Twitter user @FPLVillan wrote: "Ultimately irrelevant but don’t really get the Gabriel mimicking Onana thing. Not like Onana did it as an offence to anyone, why is Gabriel watching our social videos? Again, ultimately irrelevant."

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has also been somewhat riled by Gabriel. The Argentine No.1 was adamant he had been impeded by the Gunners centre-back for Arsenal's opener, which arrived just after the restart.

Martinez later exploded as he left the field after the full-time whistle as he was mocked by Arsenal supporters near the tunnel.

He has since posted on social media an image of the Gunners' first goal and captioned the post: "The best team won today, we still in good position for the 2nd part of the season #elbowallow #utv."

Rather cheekily, supporters have spotted that the post on Instagram has been liked but who else? Gabriel.

The pair actually know each other from Martinez's Arsenal days, even they though joined and left the club during the same transfer window.

Brazil international Gabriel spent around two weeks with Martinez before the goalkeeper departed for Villa in a transfer deal worth up to £20million.

The bad blood following last night's spectacle was not just rife among the players, either. Unai Emery also headed straight down the tunnel and he did not wait to shake the hand of Mikel Arteta.

Emery later explained: "After finishing the match my routine is always quick, shake hands, I was waiting. Of course [Arteta] was happy. But he was with the coaches and I can’t wait for him. I was there but no problem. I went to my dressing room."
