He’s not a brilliant defender’: Arsenal legend Lee Dixon hits out at Oleksandr Zinchenko for ‘going to sleep’ for Southampton’s third at the Emirates... after he was also at fault for Liverpool’s equaliser

Arsenal legend Lee Dixon hit out at Oleksandr Zinchenko for 'going to sleep' in the Gunners' backline during their 3-3 draw with Southampton on Friday evening.

The pundit singled the Ukrainian out for criticism after finding Zinchenko at fault as Southampton slotted their third on the night past Aaron Ramsdale.

Substitute Duje Caleta-Car's 66th minute header put the visitors two goals ahead of the league leaders, but in a frantic attacking blitz in the final ten minutes, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka scored within two minutes of one another to save the point.
