Oleksandr Zinchenko scored a stunning goal against his former club PSV, earning praise from fans for the strike. However, the goal also sparked comparisons with Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard, as supporters questioned his shooting ability.
Though Ødegaard is renowned for his passing and creativity, many fans have pointed out his struggles with shooting, a growing concern among the Arsenal faithful.
Here are some fan reactions:
@zpatrick0: “Zinchenko struck that better than anything Ødegaard has managed all season.”
@TheFalseNein: “Ødegaard, mate, Zinchenko has just hit a shot with more power than you have in 20 games.”
@kceefly: “Ødegaard, did you see that strike from Zinchenko? That’s the minimum shooting level you should aim for.”
@1pterson: “Zinchenko has better ball-striking technique than Ødegaard 😂”
@zuhumomar: “I hope Ødegaard was watching and learning from Zinchenko’s goal.”
Meanwhile, fans also reacted humorously to Zinchenko’s mention of knowing only a few Portuguese words, jokingly saying: “Finally, a sportsperson blaming Jesus for their shortcomings.”
As Zinchenko made his return to Eindhoven in the Champions League, many looked back on his previous stint at PSV, adding another layer of nostalgia to his impressive performance.
