Arsenal duo Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White wanted to rol each other when the final whistle blew to announce their 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka gave the Gunners a 2-0 lead, before Zinchenko was beaten in the air by a Forest player from a long ball which he then headed into the path of Taiwo Awonyi to make it 2-1 with one minute to play.
It was that goal that allegedly led to the bekgeveg on the pitch, which Mikel Arteta had to stop.
The Gunners coach says of the incident: “I love it, they demand more from each other and they are not happy with the way they concede that and they are trying to resolve it.
“It was a bit heated, but that means it is not enough playing the way we played, the result has to be bigger.
"I LOVE IT!"

“That’s pushing each other and being not happy conceding and I have to encourage that and promote it in the right way and a respectful way…”
The Gunners next face Liverpool on Sunday.
