Arsenal midfielder Xhaka has been 'phenomenal' since Burnley red card, says Arteta

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Granit Xhaka, saying the midfielder has been "phenomenal" since last month's red card against Burnley.

Xhaka was shown a straight red card against Burnley after he grabbed Ashley Westwood by the neck . The Gunners would go on to lose the match 1-0, continuing a horrible run that saw them down near the relegation spots.

Arsenal's form has improved of late, with Arteta's side having won three and drawn one of their last four league games to move up to 11th in the table.
