A dreadful defensive error from Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka gifted Burnley an equaliser as the sides drew 1-1 at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday.
Arsenal had taken a sixth minute lead when Willian ran at Burnley’s defence and fed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, whose low shot snuck in at the near.
Mikel Arteta’s side looked comfortably in charge of the game until a shocking mistake six minutes before the break.
Arsenal attempted to play the ball out from the back with keeper Bernd Leno passing to Xhaka deep in the penalty area, but the Swiss international’s attempted pass to David Luiz struck Clarets striker Chris Wood and ricocheted into the net.
