Andy Townsend said on talkSPORT (4:41pm, March 8, 2021) that the goal that Arsenal conceded at the weekend was the fault of Bernd Leno, not Granit Xhaka.
Xhaka made a poor mistake against Burnley that led to a goal from Chris Wood in the first half of the Premier League game between the two sides this past Saturday.
The Switzerland international midfielder received a short pass from his Arsenal teammate and goalkeeper Leno, and while trying to stick to the Gunners’ philosophy of playing out from the back, he made a bad mistake that led to a goal.
