Gabriel Paulista displayed a touching show of affection for young Alex Iwobi as the Arsenal youngster endured a tough night against Paris Saint-Germain.
Iwobi was not at his best against the Ligue 1 giants and he diverted Lucas Moura’s header past David Ospina to ensure PSG took a point away from the Emirates.
PSG’s two away goals mean they’re in pole position to finish top of Group A and Arsene Wenger expressed his frustration at the result.

Wenger hooked Iwobi off moments after Arsenal conceded and when he sat down on the bench, he cut a dejected figure.
But Brazilian centre-back Gabriel was quick to console the 20-year-old, putting his arm around him before kissing him on the cheek.
It was a nice gesture from the 25-year-old, who clearly looks out for his team-mates.
