ARSENAL star Oleksandr Zinchenko appeared to lose his cool with his former Manchester City team-mates after the 1-0 FA Cup defeat – and fans want to know why.
Nathan Ake scored the winner for Pep Guardiola’s side to dump Arsenal out of the cup.
The Premier League title holders will be hoping to unnerve the Gunners, who are occupying top spot with a five-point advantage and a game in hand.
Friday’s FA Cup dust-up also happened to be Zinchenko’s return to the Etihad, where he spent six years of his career.
Zinchenko won four Prem titles, four EFL Cups and an FA Cup during his time at the Citizens.
He was, however, unable to help Arsenal get one over on City after coming off the bench in the second half.

The left-back also picked up a late booking for a foul, and was lucky to escape a second yellow for a challenge on Bernardo Silva.
But at full-time as Zinchenko was surrounded by his former team-mates, he appeared agitated and emotional.
He tried to break free of Joao Cancelo’s grasp after speaking with Riyad Mahrez, and fans aren’t sure whether he was happy or angry.
One said: “Need to know what Mahrez said.”

Another tweeted: “Zinchenko getting bullied like the youngest brother.”
A third questioned: “Why was Zinchenko so mad?”
After breaking free, Zinchenko swapped shirts with Kyle Walker before disappearing down the tunnel.
Arsenal meet Man City again in mid-February at the Emirates.
That game could boost Mikel Arteta and Co’s chances of ending the season league winners.
An away trip to the Etihad will follow in April.
