The Gunners twice went behind at Villa Park before snatching all three points in stoppage time.

Oleksandr Zinchenko’s leveller on the hour mark for the Gunners made it 2-2, before a late twist.
Leon Bailey hit the woodwork late on, but it would be an unfortunate own goal that decided matters.
New Arsenal signing Jorginho let fly from the edge of the box in the 93rd minute, cannoning his shot off the crossbar.
The ball bounced out, before inadvertently striking Emi Martinez on the back of the head and trickling in.
Former Arsenal defender Keown was on punditry duty for BT Sport.
And after the match, the broadcaster revealed the 56-year-old’s reaction as the ball hit the net.
The replay showed Keown dancing across the studio with his arms aloft.
He gleefully shouted: “It’s the perfect goal off the keeper.”

The ex-centre-back then cackled in delight.
Former Villa and Tottenham striker Peter Crouch showed a very different reaction, however, hanging his head in his hands.
Martinez was then caught up the pitch having galloped forwards for a corner, with Gabriel Martinelli subsequently rolling the ball into an empty net after a counter-attack to make it 4-2.
The win saw Mikel Arteta’s side climb back to the top of the table going into the 3pm kick-offs.
But Manchester City were quickly presented the opportunity to go back to the top as they travelled to Nottingham Forest.
