Thierry Henry made to regret Granit Xhaka comments following incident during Arsenal loss vs PSV

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has been made to regret his comments praising Granit Xhaka after the Swiss midfielder dealt his side a major blow in the Europa League.

The Gunners were able to secure qualification for the knockout rounds last week with Xhaka scoring a crucial goal in the 1-0 win vs PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium. In the reverse fixture though, Arsenal struggled to perform to the high standards they have set so far this term as they lost 2-0 in Holland.

Gunners transfer target Cody Gakpo impressed for PSV last night (Thursday) but had two goals ruled out for offside, with Joey Veerman and Luuk de Jong keeping the Dutch outfit's hopes of finishing top of Group A alive. The defeat now means Arsenal will need a win against FC Zurich in north London, but Xhaka is set to miss the clash after picking up a silly booking against PSV.
