Peter Crouch and Cesc Fabregas hailed Granit Xhaka for turning around his Arsenal career after a stunning performance in the Gunners' 3-1 win over Tottenham.
Arsenal grabbed the bragging rights in Saturday's north London derby, emerging victorious at the Emirates thanks to goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and a fine third from Xhaka.
Harry Kane had equalised for Spurs but Emerson Royal's second-half sending off put paid to their hopes of earning anything from the game.
Xhaka himself was awarded the player of the match award and was hailed by Gunners fans.
