Arsenal fans seem to have done a 180 on Granit Xhaka.

Granit Xhaka passes during the Pre-Season Friendly match between Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC at Birds Nest on July 22, 2017 in Beijing, China.

Arsenal fans on Twitter have singled out Granit Xhaka for praise.

Arsene Wenger’s side made it six wins in a row by beating Southampton 3-2 at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.

The Swiss midfielder has often come in for a bit of criticism from fans of the North London club, but plenty of them were impressed with the former Basel man – a £35 million signing in 2016 – today.

Xhaka touched the ball more than any other player on the park [144] and won 10 duels – more than any other Gunners player on the day.
