Arsenal fans are all saying the same thing after Oleksandr Zinchenko refuses to celebrate after scoring for the Gunners against PSV in the Champions League

Arsenal fans reacted to Oleksandr Zinchenko’s strike against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night with a markedly similar reaction. 

Zinchenko opened the scoring after just three minutes for the Gunners to give them the lead at Emirates Stadium in a tie they were already winning 7-1 on aggregate. 

Supporters quickly took to social media to bemoan the Ukranian for refusing to celebrate against PSV. 

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: ‘Zinchenko refusing to celebrate against a club he played 12 league games for. Game’s gone.’

Another posted: ‘Zinchenko doing the respect celebration. Let it go’. 

A third commented on the irony of his refusal to celebrate as they said he ‘probably will never score a better goal’. 

His refusal to celebrate came after he curled home a fine effort from 20 yards in the opening stages of the contest. 

While it may have come in for criticism from some on social media, Zinchenko made 12 appearances for the Dutch side during a spell on loan from Manchester City during the 2016-17 season. 

He also made seven appearances for their reserve team during his time in Holland.

While Mikel Arteta’s side were always in a comfortable position in the second leg after completing a 7-1 demolition job in the Netherlands last week, they were quickly pegged back at the Emirates. 

Former Tottenham player Ivan Perisic responded with a rising effort after 18 minutes that beat David Raya. 

But the north Londoners restored their advantage thanks to Declan Rice’s stooping header shortly before the interval. 

Should they avoid a complete capitulation in the time that remains, Arsenal will take on either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the last eight – with an away trip to the Spanish capital looming.
