'That was brand new for me': Granit Xhaka admits he’d never felt such ‘hatred’ directed towards him as he lost his cool and told Arsenal fans to ‘f*** off’

Granit Xhaka has admitted he overreacted when he told Arsenal fans to 'f*** off' in October but is only looking forward after putting the incident behind him.

The midfielder's career at the Emirates looked to be over after he was stripped of the captaincy following his altercation with fans in the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

He was subject to jeers from the Gunners crowd when he was substituted which led to him telling supporters to 'f*** off'.
