Well, that was unexpected. As Mikel Arteta looked forward to Sunday’s showdown against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium, a game with massive implications for the Premier League title race, he was taken back to Tuesday night’s 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest. And specifically to the on-pitch row between Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White after the full-time whistle, when passions boiled over.
The defensive teammates were furious about how Arsenal had conceded. It is probably fair to say, too, that things would have got a lot more heated if they had done so again in stoppage time, as they nearly did after a half-cleared corner; David Raya had to save from the Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi. So, were Zinchenko and White friends again?
