Xhaka and Gabriel were spotted disagreeing after the full-time whistle
The Arsenal pair of Granit Xhaka and Gabriel were spotted arguing following the full-time whistle at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners were forced to dig deep to claim the three points after Tottenham had beaten Leicester City earlier in the day. The North London rivals are currently battling it out for fourth and Champions League football next season.
It was the unlikely duo of Rob Holding and Gabriel that gave the Gunners the win, with the latter grabbing the winner. However, that didn't spare him some words from Arsenal's former captain Xhaka after the 90 minutes were up.
Sky Sports cameras caught the pair walking together towards the Arsenal fans to give the away fans a round of applause.
Xhaka appeared annoyed at the Brazilian as he furiously exchanged words with the centre-back, before covering his mouth with his hand and continuing. Gabriel fired back as he pointed at something - to the disgust of the Swiss midfielder.
Gabriel threw his hands up one more time before he went and applauded the away support with one fan commenting: "What are Xhaka and Gabriel arguing about?"

And another added: "Xhaka and Gabriel having a bit of an argument after the game, wonder what that's about."
After the match, Mikel Arteta said of the win: “You have to find a way to win and today we won ugly. We have to recognise that is the way we had done it.
"We showed incredible spirit because when we could play the way we wanted to play we had to find a way to play the way they prefer. We adapted. You have to find a way to win all the time to win - forcing mistakes, being brilliant, digging in, clean sheets."
