Special moment: Granit Xhaka returns to the Emirates and hugs Mikel Arteta

Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka has embraced manager Mikel Arteta after Arsenal's 3-0 win at the Emirates.
Xhaka went to support Sunderland at the London club, despite not playing due to injury.
Arsenal convincingly dominated the entire match to win 3-0, as well as maintain first position in the Premier League.
However, what stood out after the match was the warm meeting between Xhaka and Arteta, who have had a fantastic relationship since the Albanian star was at the Gunners.

In fact, Xhaka only stayed at Arsenal because of Arteta, who convinced him that he would change the situation with the fans, which happened - with the player now seen as a legend of the London club.
Otherwise, Arsenal are currently nine points ahead of Man City, with the latter facing a tough challenge away to Liverpool on Sunday.Telegrafi
