Zinchenko – A perfect day for Gooners

Oleksander Zinchenko hailed our comprehensive win over Fulham as an ‘amazing result’.

The defender played his part in our 3-0 win, re-establishing our five-point gap at the top of the table, and afterwards he spoke to Arsenal Media about the important victory.

“Fulham are a very good team,” he said. “They’ve played well this season, especially at home. We knew that they are so dangerous so we obviously prepared quite well.

“I think our first-half performance was quite good - we controlled almost everything on and off the ball.

“It’s a very important three points, a clean sheet. A perfect day for Gooners. Let’s keep going.”

Our comfortable win was in contrast to last week’s last-gasp win over Bournemouth, and Zinchenko said he was happy to enjoy an afternoon with less drama.

“Yeah, that’s for sure! It was a good lesson for us against Bournemouth.

"We analysed that game - what we did well, what we did badly. It’s football, you know? We’re human beings and make mistakes, and the important is thinking to the next action.”
