Granit Xhaka has insisted that to catch Manchester City that Arsenal must improve and go to the next level. The Gunners were beaten by a single goal by Nottingham Forest despite having a dominant hold on possession and far more opportunities to score.
Forest themselves demonstrated the defensive resilience that Arsenal have lacked in so many games this season, particularly in recent weeks. The Gunners saw their winning run end at Anfield after they sacrificed a two-goal lead before dropping further points to West Ham United and then at home to Southampton.
Xhaka has been a critical part of the group this season and has seen his game go to another level under the coaching of Mikel Arteta. The Swiss international spoke to football.london after the disappointing defeat and discussed the side’s collapse.
