Grant Xhaka, a man already on thin ice with Arsenal supporters, did himself no favours against Everton.
His loss of possession deep inside his own half led to Wayne Rooney’s opening goal at Goodison Park.
Arsene Wenger reminds Ozil and Sanchez of 'social contract' with Arsenal team-mates
For a player supposedly picked for his defensive awareness and ball retention skills, it wasn’t a moment he will want to remember.
With his back to goal Idrissa Gueye robbed him of the ball before Wayne Rooney turned back the years by curling in a wonderful long range goal.
Gooners were furious while everyone else pointed out how much Arsenal spent to sign him.
Granit Xhaka has made more defensive errors leading to a league goal (2) than any other Arsenal player since the start of last season.

Xhaka did at least go some way to redeeming himself later in the first half with his shot leading to Nacho Monreal’s rebound equaliser.
