"Xhaka is brain-dead. What a stupid reckless tackle."

Arsenal faithful lined up comments under Morgan's post as one said:

"Red card or not I couldn’t care less why is Xhaka dumb enough to dive in like that with two feet?"

"He literally won the ball."

Arsenal conceded a third goal three minutes before half-time before Rodri and Ferran Torres completed their woes.

It was the Gunners' worst start to a league season in the English top-flight division after suffering their third straight loss after defeats to Brentford and Chelsea in their first two games.

After the international break, Arsenal will take on Norwich City and Burnley before their north London derby with Tottenham.
