BIRMINGHAM, Feb 18: With Arsenal’s title aspirations in danger, new signing Jorginho came up big for the Gunners.
Jorginho’s shot from outside the area in second-half stoppage time bounced against the crossbar and off Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez before going into the net to put Arsenal ahead for good in a come-from-behind 4-2 win Saturday that halted a three-game winless streak in the Premier League.
Arsenal had to come from behind twice before the lucky bounce from Jorginho’s shot made it 3-2 in the third minute of stoppage time. Gabriel Martinelli then tapped in a fourth into an empty net on a quick counter after Martinez — the former Arsenal goalkeeper — had come up the field as Villa searched for an equalizer.
The win puts Arsenal three points above Manchester City atop the table ahead of the defending champion’s game against Nottingham Forest later Saturday. It also halted an alarming slump for Mikel Arteta’s team, which had looked in danger of suffering a fourth loss in five games in all competitions. (AP)
