Arsenal saw their Premier League title hopes get back on track following a dramatic late win against Aston Villa. The Gunners had twice equalised after Villa had taken the lead before Jorginho launched an effort towards goal that struck the bar before hitting the back of Emi Martinez's head to nestle in the net, Gabriel Martinelli then sealed the victory deep into added time.
After a run of four games in all competitions without a win, Mikel Arteta would have wanted to see a fast start from his players at Villa Park, but he instead got the opposite. With just five minutes on the clock Ollie Watkins put the hosts in front with a fierce close-range effort.
Bukayo Saka levelled the game 11 minutes later with a thunderous strike, but Villa were in front at the break when Phillipe Coutinho, making his first start under Unai Emery, swept home. Arsenal came out fighting in the second half though and Oleksandr Zinchenko subsequently scored his first Premier League goal with a driven effort from the edge of the box following a short corner routine.
