In this striking photograph taken at Emirates Stadium on November 30, 2016, the disappointment etched on Granit Xhaka's face tells a story of Arsenal's disappointing performance in the EFL Cup Quarterfinals against Southampton. The Swiss international midfielder, a key signing for the Gunners that summer, looked on in disbelief as his team fell behind 0-2 to their South Coast rivals. The EFL Cup Quarterfinals pitted two formidable teams against each other, with Arsenal entering the match as favorites. However, the game did not go as planned for Arsene Wenger's side. Southampton took a commanding 2-0 lead in the first half, leaving the home crowd stunned and the players crestfallen. Xhaka, who had been brought in to bolster Arsenal's midfield, struggled to make an impact on the game. His passing was off, and he failed to assert himself in the middle of the park. The midfielder's frustration was evident as he clenched his fists in anger, unable to prevent his team's slide towards elimination. The defeat was a harsh reminder of the challenges Arsenal faced that season. The team was struggling to find consistency, and the pressure on Wenger to deliver silverware was mounting. The loss to Southampton was a setback, but it also served as a wake-up call for the players and the fans alike. Despite the disappointment, Arsenal continued to fight on all fronts, determined to turn their fortunes around. Xhaka, for his part, went on to have a decent debut season at the Emirates, but this photograph remains a poignant reminder of a night when things didn't go as planned for the Gunners.
