Some Manchester City fans on Twitter hailed Oleksandr Zinchenko’s performance during Ukraine’s 2-1 win over Sweden at Euro 2020.
The 24-year-old has had a fantastic tournament and played a key role for his nation last night with a goal and an assist against Sweden.
He opened the scoring for Ukraine in the 27th minute, unleashing a powerful shot on the half volley after a clever cross from Andriy Yarmolenko.
Zinchenko, who started at left wing-back, was lively throughout the game and eventually produced a moment of brilliance for the winning goal.
The game appeared to be heading for penalties at 1-1 before Zinchenko came up with a sumptuous long-range cross that was headed in goal by Artem Dovbyk.
With just two minutes left, Sweden had no time to respond. Ukraine reached the quarter-final stage of a major tournament for the first time.
Zinchenko was hugely influential towards the result, and some of the City faithful were delighted with his overall performance.
Twitter reactions:
Zinchenko goal and assist to send Ukraine to the Euros QF for the first time in their history. What a player
