Fans mock Switzerland duo Xhaka & Lichtsteiner over shocking free-kick routine

  /  autty

Former Arsenal team-mates Granit Xhaka and Stephan Lichtsteiner were involved in a bizarre free-kick routine during Switzerland's defeat to Denmark.

Xhaka, who was recently named Arsenal's captain, initially ran past the ball.

Lichtsteiner, at Augsburg having endured a difficult campaign with the Gunners last season, then burst forward but instead of being found by Xhaka, the latter hesitated and just stood over the ball.

Denmark won 1-0 in the Euro 2020 qualifier courtesy of a goal from Yussuf Poulsen, but it was Xhaka and Lichtsteiner's exploits that attracted the majority of the attention.

One Arsenal fan wrote: 'What nonsense is this??'

Another wrote: 'My word....what did we do to deserve these?'

Meanwhile, another added: 'What were they doing'.

Another wrote: 'My captain everybody'.

Switzerland are currently in third place in qualifying Group D and still have a chance of making it through to Euro 2020.

They will return to action on Saturday with a home game against Republic of Ireland.
