ARSENAL fans have been left in stitches after watching Oleksandr Zinchenko’s bizarre celebration following Ben White’s goal against Leeds.
The Gunners restored their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 4-1 win over Javi Garcia’s side on Saturday.
Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring from the penalty spot during the first half and doubled his goal tally with a superb strike after the break.
Granit Xhaka also got on the scoresheet shortly after unlikely goalscorer White popped up with a composed finish within two minutes of the second-half restart.
The right-back had scored just one Arsenal goal prior to Saturday, so he was unsurprisingly surrounded by his teammates who were keen to celebrate with him.
However, Zinchenko left many fans completely perplexed with his particular celebration.

After giving White a hug and a pat on the head, the Ukrainian then proceeded to give him a kick up the backside.
Fans were left in stitches after a video of the celebration, which was taken by a fan, emerged on social media.
One person tweeted: “How can one not love such a player. Superb!!!!”
Another added: “Zinny is some funny lad honestly!”

A third wrote: “Just a bunch of very good mates enjoying their football.”
While one Arsenal fan joked: “That’s red card, where’s VAR? Decision against Arsenal yet again.”
Some fans even suggested that it was “revenge” as White had previously pranked his teammates with similar tricks.
While celebrating Gabriel’s goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier this season, the England international flicked a football onto the head of midfielder Martin Odegaard.
