Oleksandr Zinchenko: Arsenal ace went mad at 4th official in Fulham win | OneFootball

Oleksandr Zinchenko was forced to miss Arsenal’s match against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.

The Ukrainian has played a pivotal role in The Gunners’ strong start to the season.

He starred in their opening three victories against Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Bournemouth.

Zinchenko was not in the matchday squad against Fulham, though, after suffering a slight sprain to his left knee in training ahead of the match.

However, despite not being in the matchday squad, Zinchenko’s passion was clear to see during his side’s 2-1 victory.

The 25-year-old was pitch-side for the match.

And fan footage has emerged of him going ballistic at the fourth official towards the end of the game.

Zinchenko was not happy with a decision made and he made his feelings very clear.

Zinchenko has only been at the club for a couple of months but he is fast becoming a fan-favourite.

Mikel Arteta spoke to the media after the game and he was happy with how his side reacted to going 1-0 down in the second-half.

“We reacted with a great mentality after a big mistake. We were in control and made a mistake, but we reacted well,” he said, per the Mirror.

“We had to make changes. The players had to do it and credit to them, because they really made a difference. The players have to enjoy today, then start thinking about how we recover and prepare for Villa. It’s going to be another big fight.”

The Spaniard isn’t getting ahead of himself, though, and isn’t getting carried away.

When asked about a potential title challenge, he replied: “No this is just the start of the season. We are in a long, long marathon.”

Arteta will be hoping to have Zinchenko available for their match against Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.
