Unai Emery defended Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka, praising his commitment against Manchester United in Monday's Premier League draw.

The Switzerland midfielder appeared to duck out of the way of Scott McTominay's rasping 20-yard drive, although some replays indicated the ball took a small deflection to divert it away from his head.
