In the last week’s match of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Zenit midfielder Alexander Erokhin spoke positively about Spartak’s game.
Spartak played well. They deserved more. But we were stronger and that’s why we won, we deserved to be champions in this special match. Let’s celebrate! Was it important to be a champion against Spartak? It was my idea to beat them! This is a special match. It is a bonus for us that we have four more rounds in which we will play in champion status and enjoy the victory,” explains Erokhina. “Sport Express”.
Last weekend, Spartak lost to Zenit with a score of 2:3. Claudinho, Andrey Mostovoy and Ivan Sergeev scored against the winners. As part of the Muscovites, Keita Balde and Quincy Promes distinguished themselves (from the penalty spot). It is worth noting that “Spartak” returned twice during the match and conceded the decisive goal already in the stoppage time. 15 minutes before the end of the match, the defender of the red and whites Alexis Duarte was sent off.
After 26 weeks in the RPL, the red-whites are in fourth place, two points behind the second-placed CSKA. The teams will face each other on May 21.
