Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko celebrated Bukayo Saka's winning penalty against Liverpool exactly how a fan would.

The Gunners ran out 3-2 victors at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon after being pegged back twice.

Bukayo Saka converted his spot kick with 14 minutes remaining to send the home crowd wild. Sitting high up in the stadium was Zinchenko, who missed the game through injury.

That didn't stop him from soaking it all in though. You can watch the video below:

Zinchenko put both of his arms in the air before letting out a big shout of 'COME ON!' along with fellow Gunners supporters.

The Ukraine international joined Arsenal from Manchester City in the summer for £30 million.

During his time at the Etihad Stadium, he went toe-to-toe with Liverpool in three different title races. He knows how important it is to beat Jurgen Klopp's men.

The video has gone viral on social media and many think Zinchenko perfectly sums up the new Arsenal.

One person commented: "Zinny was all of us."

Another put: "This man gives me life, what a player."

A third said: "It took two months for him to become a Gooner."

While someone tweeted: "He was like this at City as well. Top professional."

Arsenal took the lead inside 58 minutes through Gabriel Martinelli, who finished off a slick move that cut Liverpool's defence open.

The Reds grew into the contest and equalised through Darwin Nunez but found themselves behind once again on the stroke of halftime.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was drawn to Martinelli out wide, leaving space in the middle. Martinelli played the ball into the box, which Saka turned home after a lovely dummy from Gabriel.

Roberto Firmino drew Liverpool level in the second half against the run of play, before Saka's penalty sealed all three points.

Klopp was unsure about the penalty decision which went against his team. Gabriel Jesus was clipped in the area by Thiago but there appeared to be minimal contact.

He said in his post-match interview: "What can I say now about that situation? He (referee Michael Oliver) thought immediately it’s a penalty, which is interesting but it's his decision.

"Mr England (VAR Darren England) had a look at it and thought as well it’s a penalty. We know in life if two refs think the same that is the truth and we have to live with.

"If I see the situation back, if there was contact - and I’m not sure there was contact but there might have been soft contact - the player (Gabriel Jesus) was again on both feet and then down."
