Jorginho hails 'beautiful' Arsenal fight-back for victory at Aston Villa

Arsenal scored twice in stoppage time to win a six-goal thriller at Aston Villa and return to the top of the Premier League.

Villa twice went ahead through Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho in the first half.

They were pegged back by goals from Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko either side of the break, before Arsenal sealed victory in a dramatic finish.

Mikel Arteta's side ended a run of three games without a win to climb back above Manchester City after defeat to them in midweek.

Jorginho said afterwards: "That's the Premier League. That's why it's the best league in the world. It's just beautiful.

"It was very important after the last results we had. The start wasn't easy when we were not producing our game. We came in at half-time, had a chat and then we went back doing the basics we need to do and changed the game."

On his shot going in off Emiliano Martinez for Arsenal's pivotal third goal, he added: "The last time I hit the post and it went back off the keeper it didn't go in so I'm glad today it did."
