In a focus battle in the 34th round of the Premier League that ended tonight Beijing time, Arsenal won 3-1 at home to Manchester United, Tavares, Saka and Xhaka scored one goal each for Arsenal, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th goal in the Premier League. In this crucial battle for the top four places in the Premier League, Arsenal laughed to the end.
Among them, Xhaka's long-range shot from this field was quite wonderful. At that time, B Fei made a mistake in stopping the ball, Herneney passed the ball to Xhaka, and after a slight adjustment, Xhaka's left foot long-range shot.
It was Xhaka's first goal in the Premier League this season, and after the goal, he glided to his knees in excitement to celebrate.
Meanwhile, this is the third time that Xhaka has scored from a distance in the Premier League against Manchester United, and he has been tied with Gerrard, Les Ferdinand and Kevin Phillips as the player who has scored the most long-range goals in the Premier League.
Xhaka's long-range shots from 2 previous games against Manchester United were also fantastic.
In the 34th round of the 2016-17 Premier League season, Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 at home when Xhaka fired a left-footed long-range shot from outside the box and the ball hit Herrera's back and refracted into the net.
In the 30th round of the 2018-19 Premier League, Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 at home, facing De Gea, Xhaka once again scored from distance. At that time, receiving Lacazette's pass, Xhaka shot from outside the box with his left foot, and the ball bounced off the ground in front of goal and into the net.
Xhaka, who has been playing for Arsenal for six seasons, has not scored many goals in the Premier League, scoring 10 goals in 183 premier league games so far, including three long-range shots against the Manchester United goal.
In the Swiss national team, the 29-year-old Xhaka has made 100 appearances, including during last summer's Quarter-finals of the European Championship against France.
At that time, Switzerland and France joined forces in the quarter-finals to provide a wonderful battle, and Switzerland, which was once 1-3 behind, stubbornly scored two goals in a row to make it 3-3 with France. In the 90th minute, Xhaka sent a cross and Gavranovic scored the ball, dragging the game into extra time.
In extra time, neither Switzerland nor France scored a goal, and had to decide the winner on penalties. Before the penalty shootout, the Swiss team gathered together, and the captain Xhaka stood in the middle to encourage his teammates, which was an impressive scene.
In the final penalty shootout, Switzerland made all five free throws, France made all four of the first four, and Mbappe, the fifth to take the penalty, was saved by Swiss goalkeeper Sommer. In the penalty shootout 5-4, Switzerland advanced to the quarter-finals, while the favourites to win the championship, France, stopped at the Round of 16 of the European Championship. After the match, Xhaka was voted the best of the game, and this match became the masterpiece of Xhaka's national team career.
Roma boss Jose Mourinho was eager for Xhaka to join last summer, but in the end Xhaka stayed at Arsenal and remained Arsenal's main midfielder this season. After this round of home victory over Manchester United, Arsenal are currently in fourth place in the Premier League table, and the next few rounds will continue to compete fiercely with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United for the top four places.
The premier league's four major battles are still full of suspense this season.
