Arsenal defender Gabriel searches for missing TOOTH in rain at empty Emirates after being elbowed in David Luiz farewell

ARSENAL defender Gabriel lost a TOOTH when he and his team-mates celebrated David Luiz’s final game for the club.

The Brazilian was elbowed in the face during the fun and spent several minutes searching the Emirates pitch for his missing tooth before giving up.

After their 2-0 victory against Brighton, the Arsenal players met in the centre of the pitch to greet David Luiz.

The 34-year-old, who is leaving the club when his contract expires in the summer, did not feature against the Seagulls due to injury.

After making his way to the middle, Luiz was hugged by Gabriel before the rest of the squad joined the celebrations.

It all seemed like fun and games until the players began laughing, with ex-Chelsea star Willian pointing at Gabriel.

The 23-year-old defender then pointed at his teeth, indicating one had fallen out.

Gabriel spent the next 20 or so minutes looking for the missing tooth with a few members of staff, later calling it an evening.

Although the Brazilian star should have no problem getting his teeth fixed at the dentist, Mikel Arteta will struggle to fix his failing squad.

The Gunners have finished eighth in the Premier League this season, missing out on European football next term.

They have been linked with a number of players in recent weeks, including Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge, Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic and Norwich playmaker Emiliano Buendia.

Arsenal are also in the middle of a civil war, with fans demanding for owner Stan Kroenke to sell the club.

Spotify chief Daniel Ek is interested in buying the Gunners and has the backing of several club legends, including ex-captain Patrick Vieira.
