​Arsenal midfielder Xhaka scores for Switzerland

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka got on the scoresheet for Switzerland in their Euro 2020 qualifier against Gibraltar.

The former Gunners skipper got his first taste of football for several weeks, as he has been out of the Arsenal side since he had a confrontation with the club's fans.

Xhaka was a key part of the Swiss 6-1 success against Gibraltar.

He played a quick one two with Cedric Itten, before calmly getting the ball past the Gibraltar goalkeeper.

The result means Switzerland have secured qualification for Euro 2020.

It is unclear if Xhaka will play for Arsenal again, as some reports suggest he may be sold in the winter.
