What Oleksandr Zinchenko did to Declan Rice after the dramatic Arsenal winner vs. Man United
Declan Rice netted his first Arsenal goal on Sunday afternoon in dramatic fashion.
The Gunners hosted Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium for their highly-anticipated Premier League clash. But it was Erik ten Hag’s side that took the lead through Marcus Rashford shortly before the half-hour mark.
However, that didn’t last long, with Martin Odegaard equalizing within 60 seconds following a Gabriel Martinelli cutback. United then thought they’d won it late on when Alejandro Garnacho finished past the onrushing Aaron Ramsdale in the 88th minute only for VAR to rule the goal out for offside.

Arsenal then took advantage of their new-found momentum as Rice scored six minutes into stoppage time before Gabriel Jesus sealed the victory with a goal in the 101st minute. The Emirates went into a state of pandemonium following Rice’s winner and some supporters spotted Oleksandr Zinchenko’s hilarious reaction to the England international’s goal.
The north Londoners’ club-record signing ran into the corner to celebrate with the home faithful before Zinchenko, who had been substituted late on, got his teammate in a headlock, showcasing his passion following the dramatic victory. Here is what a select few Gunners fans said about the funny moment on Reddit.
dhiaizk: “Poor lad’s not going to want to score again now.”
magboy1010: “In City’s All or Nothing there’s a clip of Zinny celebrating in the dressing room whipping his sock through the air which is deliberately connecting with Jesus’s face every time.”
Tiny-Tempeh: “Someone should have warned Rice about Zinny’s unhinged last-minute winner celebrations.”
MysticalIceKO: “He kicked whites (expletive) last time, and you should see Zinny’s face when he first scored for Arsenal.”
