At some point, Arsenal’s 88 million franc man Nicolas Pepe (25) loses his temper. Leeds defender Ezgjan Alioski (28), the North Macedonia international from Flamatt FR, has repeatedly dealt with him with mild provocations on the field. There is a pluck, here a fight.
Pepe kills Alioski, the former Lugano player, with a header. The VAR sends him to the shower at 51 minutes with a soft red color.
After the game hit again
Arsenal are then mostly on the defensive, in the end the game ends 0-0. But after the game it hits again. And right in the middle of it all, Granit Xhaka, who is back in the starting lineup due to Thomas Partey’s injury and Mohamed Elneny’s coronavirus disease.
After the game, Xhaka talks amiably with Alioski, as he would between two people in Switzerland. Arsenal’s left-back Kieran Tierney (23) arrives and wants to attack Alioski. Xhaka pushes his teammate away and puts his arm around Alioski.
Xhaka puts her arm around Alioski.
This then sparked huge discussions on social media, also involving Arsenal legend Martin Keown (332 games for the Gunners).
“The way Kieran Tierney tried to converse with Alioski showed an impressive fighting spirit. Tierney may have been upset that Granit Xhaka put her arm around Alioski at the end of the game. After what happened “.
Keown continues: “I certainly would have felt this way if I’d seen one of my teammates practically fraternize with the enemy.”
The dust will settle, Keown said. But “Tierney is exactly the type of personality that Arsenal need on the team.” (Red)
