Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insisted he won't be viewing his team's crucial third goal at Villa Park as an Emi Martinez own goal after his team struck late to revitalise their title bid.
The Gunners left it very late to win at Villa Park and breathe new life into their title challenge. The hosts, with former Arsenal boss Unai Emery in the dugout, led 2-1 at half-time as Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho struck either side of a Bukayo Saka effort.
Oleksandr Zinchenko levelled for a second time with his first-ever Arsenal goal, but it wasn't until time added on that the points went the way of the visitors. Martinez scored an unfortunate own goal against his former club, with the ball deflecting in off his head after Jorginho's shot hit the woodwork, but Arteta insisted the goal belonged to the Italy midfielder.
