Cesc Fabregas and Patrick Vieira in agreement on Granit Xhaka after Chelsea display

Granit Xhaka was given a seal of approval from two former legendary Arsenal midfielders after helping inspire his side to victory over Chelsea.

After a run of four Premier League games without a win, which left Mikel Arteta's side a point behind Man City having played a game more, a win over their London rivals was imperative to keep Arsenal's fading title hopes alive. And Xhaka and co delivered, with Martin Odegaard scoring twice before Gabriel Jesus sealed a 3-0 half time lead.

The Blues grabbed a second half consolation goal through Noni Madueke, but in truth they were outplayed with the Switzerland star deemed man of the match on the night. He provided the assists for both of Odegaard's early strikes, and only two superb saves from Kepa denied him being on the scoresheet himself.
