Gabriel Magalhaes, a defender for Arsenal, has been named the “most influential player in the Premier League” by former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher. Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 on Sunday, and Gabriel Magalhaes helped them increase their lead at the top of the league standings to four points. The South American helped the Gunners maintain their fifth consecutive clean sheet of the season by playing the entire game. “I think you can make an argument that he could be seen as the most influential player in the Premier League right now,” Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, said on Sky Sports about the Brazilianhis threat at set pieces, as well as Arsenal’s defensive record and clean sheet totals. He has just as much influence as anyone, possibly even Erling Haaland. Sunderland has returned to third position, as Arsenal leads second-place Bournemouth by four points. Bournemouth’s victory over Nottingham Forest moved them up to second place.
