#EmiratesFACup: Five things we noticed

Was this Granit Xhaka's best performance in an Arsenal shirt? Quite possibly, and it will take some eclipsing. Xhaka was everywhere at Wembley, THE standout midfielder on the pitch and a huge influence at both ends. He came to our rescue three times in a one-sided first 15 minutes, racing across to make a covering tackle after City stole the ball from Mustafi inside our area and hooking clearances away from inside our six-yard box. But when the opportunity came Xhaka pressed City in their half, snatching possession to set up a chance that we should have made more from when Aubameyang couldn't find Pepe.
