Arsenal returned to winning ways as they came from behind to beat Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners were looking to taste victory for the first time in four matches.
And they did just that as they won a six-goal thriller at Villa Park.
Villa raced out the blocks and took the lead after six minutes through Ollie Watkins.
Bukayo Saka restored parity shortly after, only for Philippe Coutinho to restore the home side’s advantage just after the half-hour mark.
Arsenal battled back and drew level once again in the 61st minute when Oleksandr Zinchenko bagged his first ever Premier League goal.
The Gunners pushed for a winner and they got it in the third minute of stoppage-time.
Jorginho had a go from 25 yards out but his brilliant effort crashed off the bar.
Fortunately for Arsenal, the ball bounced off Emiliano Martinez’s head and bounced into the back of the net.
