BT Sport apologise after Arsenal star Granit Xhaka drops X-rated gaffe on live TV

An impassioned Granit Xhaka accidentally swore on live television seconds after the full-time whistle blew on Arsenal's hard-fought victory over Chelsea.

The Gunners battled the Blues and the elements before emerging 1-0 victors at a sodden Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon thanks to Gabriel's second-half winner from a corner. The result was a momentous one for the visitors, restoring them to top spot in the Premier League after Manchester City temporarily leapfrogged them with a dramatic win over Fulham one day earlier.

With just one game remaining until the mid-season break for the World Cup, Arsenal can guarantee they will be top of the table at Christmas with victory over Wolves on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's side had to fight hard to defeat their bitter London rivals and, yet again, Xhaka was at the centre of their spirited performance.
