Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko was involved in plenty of action during the 2-2 draw against Sporting CP in the Europa League round of 16 first-leg on Thursday night. Shortly after William Saliba opened the scoring for the Gunners, Zinchenko was spotted squaring up to a number of Sporting players as the referee had to intervene.
As Fabio Vieira delivered a pinpoint corner kick to Saliba, the Ukraine international appeared to hold one of Sporting's players before they both went to ground. The Portuguese outfit protested and felt that the goal should have been disallowed.
Saliba's goal was allowed to stand but both Zinchenko and Sporting star Sebastian Coates received yellow cards following the brief coming together, with Coates now suspended for the second-leg at the Emirates Stadium next week. Mikel Arteta will hope that he is able to call upon the likes of Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard for the return leg in north London after the four stars missed the clash on Thursday night through illness and injury.
