Granit Xhaka
Xhaka, who has been at the club for seven eventful years, displayed his prowess by scoring two goals in what is expected to be his last appearance for the Gunners.
Despite leading the English Premier League for the majority of the season, Arsenal faltered in the final stretch, allowing Manchester City to clinch their third consecutive title. However, the London club refused to end the campaign on a low note, concluding with an emphatic victory against Wolves.
Xhaka wasted no time making an impact, opening the scoring in the 11th minute with a well-placed header. It was a fairy tale moment for the Swiss midfielder, who had been heavily linked with an exit from the club in 2019 following a heated exchange with fans. Just three minutes later, Xhaka found the back of the net again, capitalizing on a brilliant interchange between Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
Although a hat trick eluded him, Xhaka's contributions were instrumental in Arsenal's commanding performance. Saka continued the onslaught, curling in a delightful shot to make it 3-0 before the half-hour mark. After halftime, Gabriel Jesus joined the goal-scoring party, heading in Arsenal's fourth. Jakub Kiwior completed the rout with a goal in the 78th minute, securing a comprehensive 5-0 victory for the Gunners.
As the final whistle blew, the Emirates Stadium erupted in appreciation for Xhaka's memorable contribution and his significant contributions to the club over the years.
While his Arsenal journey is expected to come to an end, the midfielder's two-goal swansong showcased his abilities and provided a fitting tribute to his time with the Gunners.
