Graeme Souness has questioned why Arsenal selected Mohamed Elneny to be a marker for a set-piece in their defeat to Burnley.
With Arsenal already reduced to ten men following the dismissal of Granit Xhaka, the Gunners could have found themselves in an even more precarious situation after an incident involving Elneny.
While preparing to defend a Burnley corner, Elneny pushed his hands into James Tarkowski's face and then went to ground himself.

Elneny was booked following the incident but was perhaps fortunate not to have been sent off.
