Arsenal football club legend, Thierry Henry has criticised Granit Xhaka for his tackle that led to a red card on Sunday clash against Burnley.
The Swiss international was shown a red by ref Jon Moss after lunging challenge on Steven Defour with 20 minutes to go.
"It's not the first time. He did the same thing against Swansea,” Henry told Sky Sports.
“This one I just don't get it. Against Swansea it was a counter. Here, he gives the ball cheaply away.
“Why are you doing that 60 yards away from your goal, 25 minutes to go, you're in control of the game? You misplace a pass. So what? Stay on your feet.
“As soon as you do that, the rules say it's a red. Is it worse than [Marcos] Rojo who didn't get a red? No. But the rule says both feet off the ground, it's a red."
