Martin Keown couldn't fail to see the irony in Emiliano Martinez’s late own goal which earned Arsenal a dramatic victory at Aston Villa.
After three Premier League matches without a win, the Gunners headed to Villa Park in desperate need of three points. Their mini-slump had seen Manchester City move to the summit in midweek, albeit having played a game more.
Nevertheless, the need for a positive result was clear, but they were made to battle to the last for their memorable 4-2 win. Villa snatched the initiative early on and took the lead in the opening stages through Ollie Watkins. Bukayo Saka quickly struck back, before - against the run of play - Philippe Coutinho put the hosts back in front.
