Arsene Wenger bested Jose Mourinho in the Premier League at the 13th attempt as Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 on Sunday to revive their challenge for Champions League qualification.
Granit Xhaka will not change his style despite a poor disciplinary record and believes he can do better for Arsenal next season. You become cleverer, maybe look more and since my last red card, I think things have improved. The Arsenal fans are happy and I am happy for them.
The result marked Mourinho's first Premier League defeat to Arsene Wenger, a manager whom he has often had very public spats with. I don't think the other ones (in the top four race), playing one match a week and being in a great situation, I don't think they are going to blow it. "For me, football is pretty much the same everywhere, the ball is round".
'Yes, Arsenal won, to end United's long unbeaten run, but nobody really cared - including United manager Jose Mourinho.
"You can tell me you didn't play with the best team, the players who are first choice at the moment, but you cannot say we didn't try to win the game".
For Arsenal, they remain in sixth but will still harbour hopes of closing an eight-point gap on Manchester City in fourth with four games of the league season to play for Wenger's men.
The Gunners trail Liverpool by seven points but have two games in hand, including Wednesday's trip to Southampton.

But a high number of blank or spoiled votes and unusually low turnout are signs of an electorate dissatisfied with its choices. An aide to Obama said Sunday he was not expected to comment on the day of the results.
'We need some luck along the way but if we win the next four games, I'm convinced we can do it.
Wenger's explanation is unlikely to appease Neville, who played during the heated rivalries that frequently saw Arsenal and United clash in violent scenes on the pitch - and sometimes off it in Patrick Vieira's and Roy Keane's instance - while former Arsenal defender Martin Keown was in agreement with his ex-England colleague.
Manchester United's own chances of reaching fourth place have taken a serious dent, however, they still have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.
"I was surprised as well but I must confess it does not stop players concentrating on the game".
Once again they are putting together a late-season dash up the table, with a top-four finish still possible.
"We are fighting for a Champions League spot through the Europa League, but as well through the Premier League and we came here with this aim but unfortunately we couldn't win".
