The Arsenal ace could be forgiven for a little rust after missing a few weeks with a calf injury.

But this error was downright bizarre.
In the 18th minute the Ukrainian attempted to take a throw-in in an advanced area… only for the ball to slip through his fingers.
Chelsea fans jeered Zinchenko as his error gifted their side possession.
And fans online also couldn’t believe what they’d just seen.

The gaffe happened as the ball was wet, and Zinchenko could have done with a towel.
Alternatively, he might have appreciated the gesture that a Rotherham fan made during his side’s Championship clash with Norwich yesterday.
A Millers supporter went viral for taking off his jumper for Wes Harding to dry the ball with.
Harding smiled before launching a long throw into the box.
A clip of the incident subsequently gained over a million views.
