Ian Wright insisted those criticising Granit Xhaka for his clash with Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold are simply looking for someone to blame after Arsenal let a 2-0 lead slip in their Anfield thriller on Sunday.
The Gunners midfielder butted heads with the Reds right-back after Alexander-Arnold took objection to the way Xhaka seemed to deliberately make contact with him after the ball had gone. At the time of the heated exchange, Arsenal were in complete command courtesy of goals from Brazilian duo Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
Soon after Xhaka's coming together with Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's fightback begun. Mohamed Salah bundled home their first shortly before the interval to drastically change the dynamic of both Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp's team talks at half-time.
