The 27-year-old footballer started yesterday’s match of the Gunners against Manchester United in the 14th round of the Ukrainian championship from the first minutes.

The last time this happened in the EPL was back in August when Zinchenko was in the “starting XI” of Arsenal for the first round match against Wolverhampton. However, besides this, the Ukrainian had been in the starting lineup of the Londoners twice in other tournaments — in the Emirates Cup against French Lyon (2:0, August 11) and in the English League Cup against Preston (3:0, October 30).
