Arsenal also had goalkeeper Bernd Leno to thank for coming away with …

Unai Emery bemoaned the catalogue of problems that have plagued Arsenal’s season as he admitted Granit Xhaka may not play for the club again.

The captaincy furore, sparked by Xhaka’s bust-up with supporters against Crystal Palace which led to him being losing the armband, is the latest in a line of issues that have disrupted Emery’s plans.

Arsenal’s start to the campaign had already been overshadowed by Laurent Koscielny’s shock pre-season strike and Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac being victims of an attempted car-jacking.

According to Emery, they have all been major factors in why Arsenal head to in-form Leicester

However, Vitoria secured their first point in the group thanks to Bruno Duarte’s acrobatic stoppage-time equaliser.

Arsenal remain well placed to reach the knockout stages as they top the group with 10 points from their
