‘Very good’, ‘Influential’: Some Arsenal fans appreciate 28-year-old’s display vs Southampton

Granit Xhaka

Some Arsenal fans on Twitter have appreciated the display of midfielder Granit Xhaka during the club’s 3-1 comeback win over Southampton in the Premier League last night.

The Switzerland international has received criticism from few supporters in the past, but he has proved his worth in recent weeks with top-notch performances.

Xhaka impressed against the Saints where he created two big chances, one of which contributed to Nicolas Pepe putting the Gunners level in the first half.

The 28-year-old ended the game with 92 percent of his passes completed and he appears to have formed a solid partnership alongside Thomas Partey.

Here are some reactions from Gunners fans on Twitter:

Xhaka could have quite easily bagged more than one assist last night, had Alexandre Lacazette not squandered a glorious scoring chance in the first minute of the game.

The midfielder has been putting in solid displays since his return from suspension last month and hopefully, he can continue the good form against fierce rivals Manchester United on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Gunners have returned to the top half of the league standings by beating the Saints and are presently eighth on the table.

The north London giants have the chance to do the league double over United this weekend. They previously achieved the feat during the 2006/07 campaign.
