Xhaka slammed his Arsenal teammates after the Gunners’ Champions League.
And Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta murdered his players as they collapsed on Tyneside, leaving Tottenham needing just a point to finish in the top four.
Ben White’s own goal and Bruno Guimaraes’ late score condemned the north Londoners to loss.
It puts Arsenal in fifth position, two points — and 15 goals — behind arch rivals Tottenham, who face Norwich on the last day of the Premier League.
“We didn’t deserve to be on the pitch from the first minute to the 90th,” Xhaka shouted.
You don’t deserve to compete in the Champions League or Europa League after that performance.
“I’m not sure why we aren’t following the coach’s instructions. Stay at home if someone isn’t ready.” Stay on the bench and don’t come here if you’re nervous and unprepared. It was inexcusable.
“We had complete control over everything; it’s a whole different game now.”
Even if Arsenal beat Everton at the Emirates on Sunday, a draw at Carrow Road will now be enough for Antonio Conte’s spurs to secure fourth place and the lucrative prize money that comes with participation in Europe’s top league.
