Gabriel scored a 96th-minute winner as Arsenal came from a goal down to beat Newcastle United two goals to one in the Premier League at St James’ Park.
The defender got his head on the end of Declan Rice’s corner to send manager Mikel Arteta and his staff wild on the touchline.
Mikel Merino’s late glancing header off the post cancelled out Nick Woltemade’s opener in a tempestuous game.
The Gunners took all three points to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool to two points and leave Newcastle floored.
Newcastle were on course for victory after the towering Woltemade easily rose above Gabriel to connect with Sandro Tonali’s inswinging cross and power a header past Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
Gabriel theatrically went down inside his own box after feeling contact, leading to Arsenal players surrounding referee Jarred Gillett but the goal stood.
