Eddie Nketiah's stunning moment helped Arsenal defeat Manchester United late in the game tonight, maintaining their five-goal lead over Man City.
After City's 3-0 rout of Wolves earlier in the day, pressure was mounting on Mikel Arteta's team to respond against United.
But Arsenal fell down versus United from Marcus Rashford strike and the pressure was raised even further.
Nketiah's goal helped them recover effectively, though, and Bukayo Saka later scored again. However, Lisandro Martinez appeared to have saved a point for United when Nketiah scored again late in the game.
Oleksandr Zinchenko was spotted having a ball during the goal celebrations as they won three points.
After the game, former Arsenal player Cesc Fabregas spoke on Sky Sports and praised the Ukrainian in great detail.
“Zinchenko, I mean what a game. The way he sees football for a full-back. I know exactly why Mikel bought him. His intelligence is helping Arsenal so much,” Fabregas said on Sky Sports.
In fact, Zinchenko had a part in Nketiah's late goal. He created the assist for thr English striker to back heel the ball into the net.
This year, Zinchenko has received much praise for being a game-changer for Arsenal. Since joining the squad at the beginning of the season for £30 million from Manchester City, he has been able to fit in.
The former City star frequently moves towards the middle of the field when playing left back to generate overloads.
