Alexander Zinchenko showed himself perfectly in the attacking actions of "Manchester City" in the match of the 2nd round of the English championship against "Tottenham". 

Oleksandr Zinchenko, a player of the national team of Ukraine, started a home match against Tottenham in the main squad of Manchester City.

The Ukrainian had a great first half. He acted reliably in defense and participated in the attacks of his team. In the 44th minute, Alexander had a real chance to score: Rahim Sterling threw the ball at Zinchenko, and he decided to shoot from 20 meters. Opponent goalkeeper Hugo Lloris coped with the danger with great difficulty.

The first half ended with a score of 2: 1 in favor of the hosts. Sterling and Sergio Aguero scored goals for Mistyan.

In the second half, Zinchenko continued his active efforts. In the 50th minute, the Ukrainian again struck at the door of Loris. The goalkeeper knocked the ball in front of him and Aguero couldn't push it into the net. Within two minutes, Alexander launched an attack, which ended with Aguero's shot just above the goal.

Instead, Tottenham did not waste their chance. In the 57th minute, Lucas Moura's shot restored the balance - 2: 2.

83 minutes into the game, Zinchenko pulled a hip muscle. At that time, Josep Guardiola had no more substitutes, and our compatriot bravely remained to finish the match. 

At the end of the meeting, the hosts scored, but the referee with the help of VAR decided to cancel the goal - before the shot Laporte played with his hand. So, a draw - 2: 2.
