The two players were involved in a heated altercation at the end of the game, which required physical separation by their teammates.
Despite the late goal from Taiwo Awoniyi, Arsenal managed to hold on to their lead, thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka in the second half.
The victory has now propelled Arsenal to the second spot in the Premier League.
A question was asked about the argument between Zinchenko and White, Arteta said: “I love it. They are demanding more from each other. They are not happy with the way they conceded and they are just trying to resolve it.
“It got a bit heated. But that means that it’s enough. Playing the way we played the result has to be bigger and the clean sheet has to be there.”
