“I’ll punish him for trying to raise his hands to slap me”- Mikel Arteta reacts to Zinchenko and Ben White’s clash after conceding a ‘stupid’ goal in the last minute against Nottingham Forest

Following his team’s last-minute loss to Nottingham Forest following Zinchenko and Ben White’s altercation, Mikel Arteta says, “I’ll punish him for trying to raise his hands to slap me.”

After Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White were spotted fighting on the field, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta gave an explanation for why he was not upset with them.

Following Tuesday night’s 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, the two got into a furious argument, and the Spanish manager spoke with the Ukrainian.

Two goals in the second half from Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka gave the visitors all three points, but Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal in stoppage time kept the scoreboard empty.
