It was only his second goal for Arsenal. But, Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko ensured that Premier League fans would not forget it pretty soon.
Leading 2-1 against Burnley at the Emirates, the Gunners were rewarded a corner kick in the 74th minute. Leandro Trossard took the kick and the ball came looming before the Arsenal left-back -- asking to be hit first time. Zinchenko let his left foot fly in style, landing the ball on the left side of J Trafford's goal.
Earlier in the 57th minute of the game, it was a header by William Saliba from a similar Trossard corner that helped Arteta's Arsenal restore their lead after Burnley equalised through Josh Brownill a couple of minutes ago. Another Saliba effort rattled the post before the ball eventually went towards Zinchenko.
Arsenal managed to hold on to the two-goal lead to run away with full points despite substitute Fabio Vieira being sent off 7 minutes from full time.
Now, the London side is level on points (27) with leaders Manchester City although the latter have a game in hand.
🚨🚨| GOAL: Zinchenko makes it THREE for Arsenal.
