Gyokeres responds to celebration
Gyokeres has hit back at Gabriel following the celebration he did after scoring Arsenal’s third goal for Arsenal.
Gabriel scored from an Arsenal routine corner kick in the first half, making it his third goal of the new season.
The Arsenal defender then interlocked his fingers in front of his face to conduct the Gyokeres' celebration.
Speaking after the game, Gyokeres told Viaplay, via BBC, "[Gabriel is] welcome to steal it if he can't create his own celebration! I didn't know he did that, but it's fun he likes my celebration."

Gyokeres struggled to get past Saliba and Gabriel all through the game and was limited to just a few shots in the game.
The striker, who is currently the most in-form forward in Europe, has scored five goals in the Champions League this season but was pocketed by the Arsenal defenders.
Meanwhile, following the massive win in the Champions League, the Gunners will face West Ham in the Premier League.
