Rooney Says Gabriel Was Lucky to Avoid a Red Card Against Chelsea

1 / 3

Wayne Rooney believes Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes was fortunate not to be sent off during Arsenal's reported 2-1 comeback win over Chelsea. Rooney said Gabriel's boot caught the opposing goalkeeper during an early set-piece scramble. He argued that the defender was nowhere near the ball and that the incident deserved a red card. Ashley Young agreed, questioning why VAR did not conduct a fuller review. However, the report contains conflicting match details, including player and goalkeeper references that do not align with Arsenal and Chelsea squads, so the specific incident should be verified.
