Gabriel's red card was later rescinded, but the defender was given a one-match suspension for failing to leave the pitch immediately, while Costa was slapped with a three-match ban.

"The thing is, I'm a very calm guy, but when I enter the pitch it's something different," Gabriel told British media.

"We are a little transformed. But it was just the heat of the moment, and a moment of learning too."

"I learned a lot from it. I've caused problems to my team, but I know I've made a mistake. This whole thing is behind me now and it will never happen again. Now we must move on. It's in the past. I don't hate anyone and he (Costa) knows that."

Arsenal, who are third in the Premier League, will host 16th placed Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
