Arsenal fans continued to show their love towards Granit Xhaka as they sung his name in what was yet another message to the Switzerland midfielder on a day of farewell at the Emirates Stadium.
Xhaka scored twice in the first half to the jubilation of the home supporters and was greeted with celebrations from his teammates and staff throughout the game as Arsenal went 4-0 up. The 30-year-old is expected to leave the club this summer after seven years.
Following on from numerous Xhaka-based scarves and a banner honouring him from the Ashburton Army, his substitution was greeted with resounding cries of 'Granit Xhaka, we want you to stay' from the home faithful.

As well as the chant, Arsenal fans sent another message of warmth and gratitude his way. In the home end, a banner was put up, reading: "If this is the end, farewell Granit."
Xhaka produced a career-best season in terms of output with seven goals and seven assists. He is just short of notching up 300 games with the club, too.
