Granit Xhaka insists he will not change the way he plays despite receiving the FIFTH red card of his Arsenal career for horror challenge on Liverpool forward Diogo Jota last week... as he admits he was wrong to attempt tackle

Granit Xhaka says he will not change the way he plays, despite coming in for criticism for his dreadful disciplinary record.

The midfielder, 29, received the fifth red card of his Arsenal career when he was sent off in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool last week for a horrendous last-man challenge on Diogo Jota.

Jota was bearing down on goal at Anfield when Xhaka swung out a leg to kick him in the chest, leaving referee Michael Oliver with little choice but to send the Swiss international for an early bath.
