Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has explained why Granit Xhaka received a yellow card during Arsenal's win against Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Swiss international was booked in the first half of the clash at Villa Park, with some fans bemused at the referee Andrew Madley's decision. However, Gallagher has now given his opinion on the incident, claiming that the tough-tackling midfielder found his way into the book because of an accumulation of offences.
"If you look at the referee, the referee actually signals that it's for an accumulation of offences," he told Sky Sports. "If you look at the referee now, it tells you it wasn't just for that, it was one that had been coming.
