Granit Xhaka was guilty of letting an unwanted habit rear its head as Arsenal let their lead slip in the first half of the clash with Tottenham - but later redeemed himself with a goal to seal North London Derby delight.
The midfielder was in brilliant form in the opening games of the season and his performances helped send the Gunners top of the Premier League before Spurs visited their local rivals on Saturday afternoon. Xhaka was entrusted with the captain's armband in the 3-0 victory over Brentford and was displaying the cool head which evaded him throughout much of his up-and-down time with Arsenal.
However, the Swiss was at fault as Mikel Arteta's side gave away a penalty with half an hour on the clock in the derby. Xhaka attempted to play a bouncing ball backwards while in his own penalty area when a clearance would have been the wiser option.
