Arsenal midfielder Xhaka delighted scoring in victory over Man Utd

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka was delighted to score in victory over Manchester United.

The Swiss struck in the 3-1 win.

Xhaka said, "Very happy for the three points and secondly very happy to have helped the team with a goal. I haven't scored in long time and it's good to do it front of the fans. But the most important thing was the three points.

"We started well but it was a 50-50 game in the second half. United were pressing and did much better, but we got the three points. The missed penalty helped us.

"It's not the first time we score and concede straight away, we did it twice against Chelsea. So we have to be more clever and have a strong mentality for the five minutes after we score."
