Oleksandr Zinchenko breaks silence on Arsenal blunder vs Liverpool as Man City given title boost

Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has sent a message to fans following the 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. The Ukraine international was heavily criticised for his performance and role in the Reds' late equaliser.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - who was involved in a bust-up with Granit Xhaka earlier in the match - nutmegged Zinchenko before crossing the ball towards Roberto Firmino, with the Brazilian heading home an equaliser in the 87th minute. The Ukrainian defender was then hooked by Mikel Arteta and replaced by Kieran Tierney.

Zinchenko was spotted in tears on the Arsenal bench with reports suggesting it was due to him feeling responsible for the Gunners dropping points in the title race. The north London outfit remain six points ahead of Zinchenko's former side Manchester City with just eight games left to play this season.
