Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko found themselves amid a fiery post-match clash after Arsenal secured a narrow 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest. The defensive duo, integral to Arsenal’s backline, engaged in a heated exchange, primarily triggered by the late goal conceded to Taiwo Awoniyi in the 89th minute.
Zinchenko, beaten in an aerial duel on the edge of the penalty area, allowed Awoniyi to capitalize on the defensive lapse, adding tension to the closing moments of the match. Tempers flared as White and Zinchenko had to be physically separated, with manager Mikel Arteta intervening to address Zinchenko’s role in the goal. Arteta acknowledged the intensity of post-match emotions but emphasized the importance of players pushing each other for excellence.
Despite the dramatic scenes, Arsenal secured three crucial points, moving within two points of league leaders Liverpool. The incident showcased the team’s passion as they continued their pursuit of a first Premier League title since 2004.
“That’s pushing each other” 💪
