Journalist Charles Watts has dished out some heavy praise for Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko after his display in the north London derby.
What’s the latest?
The Gunners were very impressive away from home on Sunday afternoon as they claimed a big victory against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Bukayo Saka forced the opener when his cross deflected off Hugo Lloris for an own goal before Martin Odegaard then fired in from long range to double the club's lead before half time.
That was enough to seal a 2-0 win and despite the obvious contributions of the two players involved in the goals, Watts took the time to individually laud the efforts of Zinchenko.
Indeed, while speaking on YouTube after the game, Watts handed the left-back a 9/10 player rating and said: “Zinchenko, I'm giving a nine. He was brilliant, Zinchenko. If there was ever a performance that summed up why he is now ahead of Kieran Tierney in the pecking order, it was this.
"He was brilliant, Tottenham couldn't handle him. drifting centrally, creating an overload centrally, that's what helped Arsenal dominate the game so much in midfield. And Zinchenko was so crucial to that."
