Granit Xhaka gifted Burnley an equaliser with an awful error at Turf Moor in today’s lunchtime kick-off, Arsenal were leading 1-0 through a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goal but it was 1-1 at half time courtesy of Xhaka’s howler.
The Swiss midfielder received the ball from Bernd Leno under pressure in his own box, and the 28-year-old smacked an attempted pass straight at Clarets striker Chris Wood.
The ball hit the New Zealand international on his hip and bounced into the Arsenal goal.

Football fans took to Twitter to comment on Burnley’s bizarre equaliser, with fans in shock at the manner in which Arsenal had surrendered their lead.
The Gunners midfielder doesn’t have the best record against Burnley, he’s previously been sent off twice against the Clarets.
Piers Morgan tweeted: ‘FFS. What a stupid goal to concede. Dumb by Leno, dumber by Xhaka.’
Another fan tweeted: ‘ Xhaka could be sensational some days but his grotesque mistakes are inevitable.’
The tenth placed Gunners can close the gap on sixth placed West Ham to just five points with a win at Turf Moor.
Sean Dyche’s side are currently 15th, six points clear of the relegation zone.
Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling also reacted with a look of shock and bemusement at the error from the Arsenal midfielder.
