Oleksandr Zinchenko was involved in a bust-up with Arsenal nemesis Neal Maupay during the 1-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison Park. The French striker seemingly kicked the Ukrainian defender late in the match, with the pair falling to the floor as tempers continued to flare after the full-time whistle.
The Gunners were left frustrated by the Toffees' stubborn defence as Sean Dyche managed to get the better of Mikel Arteta in his first game in charge of the Merseyside club. James Tarkowski's header in the second half proved to be the difference as Arsenal failed to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table, despite remaining five points ahead of Manchester City, who play Tottenham on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta revealed what he told his players in the dressing room following the defeat as he looks to maintain their strong mentality ahead of a clash against in-form Brentford next week. There were a few controversial decisions during the fixture with many fans feeling Gabriel Magalhaes had a strong claim for a penalty after Maupay seemingly tripped the Brazilian inside the area.
