Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Goncalves rubbed salt into Arsenal wounds after appearing to mock Granit Xhaka in the aftermath of the Gunners’ Europa League exit.
The North London side were booted out of Europe at the last-16 stage on Thursday evening following a penalty shootout defeat. Nuno Santos was the eventual game-winner for the Portuguese side at the Emirates Stadium but it was arguably Goncalves who put his name up in lights.
It had all started so well for Arsenal after Xhaka had given Arsenal the lead. He duly celebrated by putting his hand up to his nose and wiggling his fingers in what appeared to be a message to his daughter - if the Swiss’ wife’s Instagram post was anything to go by.
