Arsenal title winner Dixon: Blame Zinechenko for Southampton third goal

Arsenal title winner Lee Dixon says Oleks Zinchenko was at fault during last night's 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Dixon insists Zinchenko was to blame for Saints defender Duje Caleta-Car's goal on Friday.

He told Premier League Productions: "Look at Zinchenko for Southampton's third goal.

"He's got his man, he's looking at his man, he's got his arm in the air and then he just goes to sleep."

Dixon continued on Zinchenko: "He's not a brilliant defender. He's brilliant on the ball and Arsenal use him to their strengths with the ball.

"But without the ball, we saw him play a role in Liverpool's equaliser at Anfield and again today.

"He's got to be alive as a defender, whether you sometimes go into midfield or not. It's your job to keep the ball out of the back of the net."
