Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hailed the performance of Granit Xhaka after Arsenal ended Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s unbeaten Premier League record as Manchester United’s interim manager.
Xhaka blasted the hosts ahead in the 12th minute with a swerving shot which deceived David de Gea and Aubameyang sealed the points midway through the second half, keeping his composure from the penalty spot a week on from his costly miss in the last minute of the north London derby.
Solskjaer claimed Xhaka must be Brazilian-born, given the way he got the ball to curve in the air.
The former Borussia Dortmund star is well aware of the power the Switzerland international possesses in his left foot and even revealed the Arsenal squad have a special nickname for the 26-year-old.
‘The goal is really great. We know that when Granit shoots on the target, it’s a really, really good shot,’ he said.
‘All the team is very happy. We call him Xhakaboom.’
