print version

Arsenal Tula 2-1 Zenit St. Petersburg 
Saturday 16 October, Arsenal Stadium

Goals: Arsenal - Davitashvili 53',K. Kangwa 90'; Zenit - Dzyuba 88'
Man of the Match: Kings Kangwa (Arsenal) 

Fresh from scoring the winner for Georgia away to Albania midweek, Zuriko Davitashvili capped a golden week by shocking the champions with a wonderful opener in Tula. 

It was former Arsenal loaner Artem Dzyuba who thought he had come to the rescue with a bullet point header from close range range - his 100th goal for Zenit - to salvage a point two minutes from time. 

He hadn't reckoned with a moment of pure magic from Kings Kangwa. The Zambian skipped inside Dejan Lovren far too easily, and surged towards goal virtually unopposed, before lashing a viciously swerving shot dipping over Stanislav Kritsyuk from distance in the very last minute of regular time. 

It marked the first time in almost three years that Zenit had lost two league games in a row - and that time in December 2018, Arsenal were also one of the two teams to stun Zenit with a 4-2 thrashing. 

Arsenal go up to 12th on 12 points,while Zenit remain top of the table on 23 points.
