Grant Xhaka paid testament to the narrative, you elect a clown, you get a circus with his red card against Manchester City
Trying all summer long to offload him with a move to Italy said to be on the cards, Arsenal had a sudden change of heart when it came to Grant Xhaka.
The club decided to retain the player, handing him a contract extension, one which also took his weekly wages up. It was an absurd decision, one which perfectly epitomised the moniker of meme club which Arsenal have been accorded with.
And Xhaka showed why Arsenal and Mikel Arteta to continue to entrust him in the middle of the park. The midfielder ended up getting himself sent off in the first half after he decided to have a swipe at Joao Cancelo.
Grant Xhaka Gets Red Card After Tackle On Cancelo During Arsenal vs Manchester City
The incident which occurred in the 35th minute of the showdown saw Xhaka lunge into Cancelo in a bid to win the ball. It was a two foot challenge, one which saw Xhaka showing his studs as he went clobbering into City’s defender.
A reckless challenge, one which perfectly encapsulated Xhaka’s career at Arsenal saw the player get sent off on the day. It was a red card every bit deserving of a player who just doesn’t know how to play with a level head on his shoulders.
How is this a fvcking red??? Xhaka got the ball clean!. The ref has been giving it Man city’s way from the start! THIS IS SO UNFAIR!

While Xhaka spared the Arsenal fans the abuses this time around as he departed the pitch, his sending off saw a toothless Arsenal side further regress. They went onto concede two more on either side on each halves to slip to a 4-0 defeat on the day.
