Granit Xhaka broke the golden rule of playing at Anfield by getting needlessly involved in a confrontation with Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to Gary Neville.
Xhaka clashed with Alexander-Arnold in the first half of Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. He bumped into the Liverpool right-back before going head-to-head with him in a feisty exchange which saw both players booked.
Arsenal were 2-0 up at the time thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, but, with the crowd behind them, Liverpool roared back through Mohamed Salah’s goal. Salah missed a penalty before Roberto Firmino headed in an 87th-minute equaliser – and it could have been worse for the Gunners had Aaron Ramsdale not kept out Salah and Ibrahima Konate at the death.
