Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman singled out Oleksandr Zinchenko’s performance in the Gunners’ 2-0 loss against Aston Villa on Sunday, April 14.
The Gunners had spurned the chance to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table, with Seaman critiquing Zinchenko’s outing at left-back.
Speaking on the Seaman Says podcast, the former Arsenal goalie said (via Metro):
“Watching Zinchenko in that left-back position, I know he likes to go into midfield, but sometimes he gives the ball away in really important positions. He got caught out a couple of times and that puts everybody on edge.”
Arsenal’s defeat, coupled with Liverpool’s 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Anfield, saw both teams slip up with Manchester City taking advantage. Pep Guardiola’s men beat Luton Town 5-1 on Saturday, April 13, and are now two points clear of the Gunners and the Reds at the top.
