Aston Villa stunned the Etihad on the final day of the Premier League season when they took a shock lead against Manchester City on a day that was supposed to be a coronation.
As some tried to process how Pep Guardiola's side had fallen behind, Oleksandr Zinchenko was already on his feet from the bench demanding that the crowd and players lift themselves. If that were not enough, he then replaced Fernandinho at half-time and was instrumental in overturning a 2-0 deficit to mean a fourth Premier League title in five years.
With Zinchenko about to seal a £32m move to Arsenal, that is about as fitting an ending you could write for a boy who refused to accept defeat. Whether he was in or out of the team, the Ukrainian passionately gave everything he had to the football club.
