Xhaka foul, sends Burnley a draw with Arsenal

Arsenal's Granit Xhaka made a fatal defensive error to send Burnley a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday.

Arsenal took the lead in the sixth minute when Willian penetrated the Burnley defense and passed the ball to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who scored from a tight angle despite Burnley goalkeeper Nick Bob's attempt to stop it.

Mikel Arteta's side appeared in control of the match until Xhaka made a fatal mistake six minutes before the break.

The Swiss international tried to pass the ball to David Luiz in his team’s penalty area, and it collided with Burnley's Chris Moore and entered Arsenal's net.

Arsenal struggled to press Burnley after the break and Arteta's side, who are 10th, were unlucky when Danny Ceballos' stoppage-time attempt rebounded off the crossbar.
