Ian Wright has criticised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for intervening in Tuesday’s bust-up between Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Gunners survived a late scare and secured a 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground but the post-match focus centred on the row between two Arsenal defenders.
White was understood to be annoyed by the way in which Zinchenko played Gonzalo Montiel onside in the lead-up to Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal which sparked a frantic finale.
Zinchenko’s defending has been in the spotlight recently and he made an identical error in the recent 1-1 draw against Liverpool which played a part in Mohamed Salah’s equaliser.
