Yesterday, January 7, the first semi-final of the English League Cup took place, in which Arsenal, with Oleksandr Zinchenko in the squad, faced Newcastle (0:2). English journalists assessed the game of the Ukrainian defender.
Football London — 3/10
“Replaced Miles Lewis-Skelly when Arteta was looking for more creativity on the flank. Zinchenko came on, received a pass, and gave an unsuccessful pass.”
Goal — n/a
“Had no influence on the game after coming on as a substitute.”
Express – 6/10
“Essentially, he was brought on as a left winger, but he managed to get a yellow card for knocking Joelinton down.”
Onefootball – 4.5/10
“His sporadic appearance was overshadowed by a clumsy tackle on Joelinton, for which he received a yellow card.”
Givemesport – 5/10
“Could not influence the game enough to change the score.”
