  • Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko was spotted wildly celebrating Arsenal's game-winner versus Liverpool
  • Bukayo Saka stepped up to take the penalty in the 76th minute, and when it went past Alisson, Zinchenko celebrated passionately like any other Arsenal fan
  • Arsenal won the match 3-2 to move back to the top of the Premier League, one point ahead of Manchester City

No one probably celebrated Bukayo Saka's game-wining penalty for Arsenal more than Gunners left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko, who was caught on video going crazy after Saka's penalty went in.

The Ukrainian youngster has been in and out of the team because of injuries, and was elated as Arsenal extended their impressive form to solidify their grip on the top of the Premier League table.

The Gunners went into the match with an impressive victory in the north London derby versus Tottenham Hotspur the previous weekend, according to the Guardian, and were looking to register another win over a top six team.

Their prayers were answered instantly after the match kicked off, with Gabriel Martinelli opening the scoring after just one minute. Liverpool evened the score through Darwin Nunez before Saka scored Arsenal's second.

Liverpool refused to lie down and drew level again through Roberto Firmino, but Saka secured maximum points for Mikel Arteta's men, converting a controversial penalty in the 76th minute.

Zinchenko, who missed the match because of injury, followed the pulsating encounter in the box at the Emirates, according to the Daily Mail.

When the young forward converted the penalty, a camera in the stands panned to the Ukrainian, who was celebrating passionately.

The defender punched in the air and looked to the skies before letting out a loud roar.

Arsenal travel to Leeds United for their next Premier League league match.

Fans divided over Arsenal title credentials

Sports Brief earlier reported on fans' reaction to Arsenal's win over Liverpool, with many unsure of the Gunners' ability to go all the way.

Some believe Arsenal need to play Manchester City first before making the conclusion that they can win it all, while others feel they are the only ones who can challenge Man City.

Arsenal haven't won a league title in 18 years.
