Wenger: Barrow made a lot of harsh Xhaka red

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger feels referee Jonathan Moss' decision to show Granit Xhaka a red card may have been influenced by Modou Barrow.

Granit Xhaka's dismissal in Arsenal's 3-2 victory over Swansea City on Saturday was only worthy of a "dark yellow" card and not a red, according to Arsene Wenger.

Switzerland international Xhaka was sent off in the 70th minute of the match at the Emirates Stadium for lunging in on Modou Barrow from behind, clipping the back of the Swansea winger's legs.
