Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has again heaped praise on Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.

The central midfielder was in fine form as the Gunners controlled a game away to Leicester City in the Premier League.

Despite falling behind early in the game, they went on to win 3-1 through goals from David Luiz, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe.

Asked about Xhaka, Arteta told reporters: "If you have to put an example on that pitch about character and about going for every single goal with that determination, then probably it's him.

"He's played more minutes than anybody else but he keeps going, even when he is so tired. He tries to help the team in the right way and the same like with David [Luiz].

"For someone like him, at his age, to play again quickly after the game we had to play against Benfica, it was tough.

"But they had the real attitude that they wanted to be involved, they wanted to play and that's how they approach every game."
