'Best player we ever signed from Chelsea' - Arsenal fans heap praise on Jorginho vs Aston Villa

Arsenal secured a huge 4-2 victory against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners struggled in the first half as goals from Ollie Watkins and Phillipe Coutinho called out Bukayo Saka's excellent effort. However, they came out firing after the break, creating a plethora of chances, with Martin Odegaard and Eddie Nketiah both missing golden opportunities.

In the end, Oleksandr Zinchenko, an Emiliano Martinez own goal and Gabriel Martinelli handed Mikel Arteta's side all three points, meaning they are now back on top of the Premier League table having played the same amount of games as Manchester City.
