Arsenal dealt with heavy pressure from Manchester United for much of Saturday's second half until Granit Xhaka teed himself up to shoot.
He couldn't have hit it better.
The Swiss midfielder's powerful strike pushed the Gunners toward a crucial three points in their bid for Champions League qualification. The 3-1 defeat left United six points adrift of fourth place with four Premier League matches remaining in their season.
