What Granit Xhaka did after Thomas Partey's Arsenal goal in North London Derby vs Tottenham

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka was keen to show his vital qualities within the Gunners side, as Thomas Partey fired the hosts ahead early on.

Latching onto a square ball on the edge of the area, the Ghanaian international laced his effort into the top corner, much to the jubilation of the home crowd.

Forming into huddle however following the goal, some may have missed what the Arsenal midfielder did following the goal.

Keen to bring both himself and his team-mates together for a mini huddle, Xhaka could be seen rallying his side, further proving his importance within Mikel Arteta's starting XI this season.

Enjoying a strong start to the 22/23 term, Xhaka has turned the heads of most supporters with his individual displays, given he is often sometimes the brunt of the team's criticism.

But with this a clear indication of his willingness to give everything on the pitch for the side, Gunners fans will be happy to see the Swiss international means business.

Hoping to deliver success, Arsenal have began the season in fine fashion, winning all but one of their opening seven Premier League clashes.

Narrowly missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification last year has clearly given Arteta's men more motivation with the full focus on-field progression this year.
