Alexandre Jankewitz is 19 years old and only made his Premier League debut at the weekend. On Tuesday he was in Southampton’s starting XI for the first time against Manchester United at Old Trafford, and was sent off the field after 80 seconds. His team loses 9-0 in the end.
Alexandre Jankewitz celebrated his 19th birthday at Christmas. The big gift came just under a month later: last weekend he made his Premier League debut against Aston Villa. Shortly before the end, the Geneva player, who usually plays in the second team, is substituted.
On Tuesday night, the Nati U21 player must feel like Christmas and birthdays together: he is in the starting eleven for the first time in the Premier League. And that at the great Old Trafford, against the great Manchester United.
Jankewitz is, of course, highly motivated, even over-motivated: less than two minutes have been played, the dream that has come true turns into a nightmare. The young Swiss midfielder flies off the pitch in a soft red. This after he pulled his opponent Scott McTominay out of his socks with one leg stretched out at the knee. Of course, Jankewitz did not imagine that …

Southampton lives a déjà vu
Manchester United eventually exploited the majority mercilessly and won the game 9-0. By the way, with exactly the same result, Southampton lost a game last season. Against Leicester there was a 0: 9 at home on October 25, 2019; even then, a player flew off the field early – Ryan Bertrand caught him in the 12th minute.
Xhaka loses in his 200th Arsenal match
After seven games without losing, Arsenal got it back in the Premier League. The Londoners around their strategist Granit Xhaka (he made his 200th game with the Arsenal shirt) lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers despite the lead with 1: 2. The Portuguese Ruben Neves and João Moutinho turned around with their little goals before and shortly after the break.
Arsenal played with just nine players in the final stages after defensive boss David Luiz (45th) and goalkeeper Bernd Leno (73rd) saw the red card, both for “emergency brakes”. This was the case for Leno because he touched the ball with his hands outside the penalty area.
The loss was even more upsetting for Arsenal because Wolverhampton Wanderers had failed to win nine games in a row. This failed Arsenal in their effort to overtake city rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea at the table.
In addition to Xhaka and Jankewitz, the third Swiss Premier League player in action on Tuesday also lost: Fabian Schär and Newcastle lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace.
