Arsenal fans on Twitter lauded Granit Xhaka’s display during Switzerland’s 1-1 draw against Spain in the UEFA Nations League last night.

It was a pretty extraordinary night in Basel because Spain defender Sergio Ramos, who became the highest international appearance maker on the night (177 caps), saw his two penalties saved in a night to forget for the centre-back.
Gerard Moreno’s late equaliser saved Ramos’ blushes slightly because it could have been a lot worse for one of the modern-day greats.
Nonetheless, from Arsenal’s perspective, they were pleased with the performance Xhaka produced in the middle of the park after being benched in Premier League games on the club scene in recent weeks.
Xhaka was up against Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets, ex-Newcastle man Mikel Merino and Napoli’s thriving star Fabian Ruiz in that midfield tussle.
A selection of Arsenal fans feel their left-footed aggressor bossed things and walked away with a solid night’s work under his belt.
The only problem for Xhaka and the Swiss is that they haven’t won a game in almost a year and they are on the verge of being relegated from their UEFA Nations League group.
