Sokratis Papastathopoulos admits Granit Xhaka was wrong to hit out at Arsenal fans during their 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Gunners captain was substituted in the 61st minute but was booed by the home fans as he walked off the pitch.
Xhaka responded by cupping his ear towards the crowd and saying ‘f*** off’ before he took off his shirt and stormed down the tunnel.
But Sokratis concedes that the Swiss midfielder should have not let his emotions get the better of him.
‘Of course Granit is the captain of the team,’ Sokratis told Sky Sports.
‘I think the reaction from him was wrong.
‘But I think also that everything that happened we lose like a family.
‘The next day we’re together, I don’t have to say any more about this.’
