Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka was involved in an angry confrontation with the team's own fans after being substituted this morning when a two-goal lead was surrendered against Crystal Palace to draw 2-2 in the Premier League.
The decision by manager Unai Emery to withdraw Xhaka in the second half was initially greeted by large cheers, which soon turned to jeers as he took his time to leave the field despite the score being level.
Xhaka reacted by waving his arms, cupping his ears and seemingly mouthing a profanity twice as he pushed away a handshake from Emery. Xhaka took off his shirt and headed straight down the tunnel.
In other results this morning, Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 while Manchester United beat Norwich 3-1.
