Granit Xhaka makes Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga point amid Arsenal rotation

Granit Xhaka scored his third goal of the season in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over PSV to take the Gunners five points clear at the top of Group A in the Europa League. This was his sixth goal contribution of the season, a credit to the 30-year-old for not only adjusting but flourishing.
