You have a panel voting 4-1 that it wasn’t a foul.

You have two former defenders on commentary saying it wasn’t a foul.

You have the on the pitch referees deeming it not a foul.

You have the VAR team deeming it wasn’t a foul.

Do people here honestly think so many people are corrupt or inept?

Anyone who’s had some experience of playing football at even a semi competitive level will know that Gabriel was ducking in an attempt to head the ball over. In the immediate aftermath of the goal he didn’t even complain about the foul, he complained about the ball being out.

I honestly think had this incident happened in isolation—outside the two other incidents—then no one would be talking about this anymore. Yet somehow Arsenal fans seem to think that because there were three 50/50 decisions involved in the goal it should somehow amount to 150% certainty that the goal should be disallowed.
