Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy assessed the playing qualities of Arsenal London defender Alexander Zinchenko.

"Playing against Zinchenko was hard. If I'm not mistaken, within just 15 minutes he managed to make three passes between me and Sean Longstaff. In all of those situations, it seemed like he simply had nowhere to give the ball, but he still found that opportunity.
That's the fallacy of playing against Zinchenko: you think you and your team are in a good defensive position right now, but Zinchenko still disproves it, finds lineouts and passes through them," Murphy told TBR.
