In the end everything is fine again. Arsenal and Granit Xhaka struggle into the next FA Cup round with a 1-0 win against second division Leeds.
–
A success with background noises. And right in the middle: Nati-Captain Xhaka. Especially in the first half, weak Gunners let their favorite role dwindle.
–
After about five minutes in the game, there is suddenly a team internal Zoff between Xhaka and Rob Holding. The Arsenal defender openly criticizes the Swiss on the field for allegedly wrong walks.
–
Holding played a catastrophic wrong pass a few seconds earlier. That doesn’t leave Xhaka on its own and returns Holding directly. Goalie Emiliano Martinez and defender Sokratis have to arbitrate, go in between and separate the two arguments.
–
Xhaka then becomes an Arsenal hero as the game progresses. He is celebrated by the fans on social media – also for his exemplary farewell to goal scorer and youngster Reiss Nelson.

Already three coaches and only 10th place
Arsenal fans must be happy to have made it to the next round. Because to call the current season of the Gunners screwed up would almost be an understatement.
–
In the league you are only in 10th place, among others behind Sheffield United and Crystal Palace. After Emery and Ljungberg, Arteta is the third coach in the current season. And then all the fan-zoff about granite Xhaka.
