Bukayo Saka emulates Thierry Henry as Granit Xhaka enjoys special moment with Arsenal supporters

Arsenal finished off their Premier League season in some style with a 5-0 win over Wolves at the Emirates Stadium. On a beautiful day in north London Granit Xhaka got his special moment with an early brace on what is likely to be his final game for the Gunners.

Bukayo Saka then added a third just before half time, while Gabriel Jesus turned in a fourth straight after the break to produce a party atmosphere at the Emirates. There was still time for Jakub Kiwior to make it 5-0 late on with his first goal for the club.

With all that going on there might have been a few moments you didn't notice. Here football.london takes a look back at some of them.

Xhaka bids farewell

It was an emotional afternoon for Granit Xhaka. It may not be official yet, but the Swiss international all but confirmed that he's on his way to Bayer Leverkusen last week, and if we weren't sure before, we can be now.

After netting his first goal of the afternoon Xhaka made sure to hold up his hands in a gesture that both bid farewell and showed his appreciation for the Ashburton Army. They were more than willing to reciprocate the gesture, holding up a banner not long after the 30-year-old's second goal that read 'if this is the end, farewell Granit’.

Saka's celebration

It's been an equally momentous week for Bukayo Saka who finally committed his future to Arsenal by signing a new long-term contract. The England international capped it off with a goal of his own at the Emirates - Arsenal's third on the day.

Saka decided to celebrate it with a tribute to Thierry Henry that saw him hold the corner flag in front of the Clock End faithful. A lovely moment for the Hale Ender.

Arsenal fans give Tierney a hand

As well as being a farewell for Xhaka, this could well be Kieran Tierney's last game in an Arsenal shirt. The Scottish international was left out of the starting line-up again here and has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle.

Arsenal fans though are still keen to praise him for a superb few years at the Emirates Stadium. Even though it was well after he came on that the announcement was made, they made sure to give Tierney a huge cheer when he was introduced.
