Aston Villa 2 Arsenal 4: Emi Martinez scores incredible last-gasp own goal as Gunners title hopes get back on track

ARSENAL’S Premier League title charge is back on after a dramatic Emiliano Martinez injury-time own goal.

The Gunners battled back from behind twice before Jorginho’s super strike bounced back off the bar and against Martinez’s head into the net.

Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho had twice put the hosts in front in the first half.

The Gunners got level twice through Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

But it was Arsenal who pressed for a winner after Zinchenko’s first goal for his new club.

Eddie Nketiah squandered a good chance before Martin Odegaard inexplicably put a golden opportunity wide.

However, Jorginho let fly and it ricocheted off ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez.

Gabriel Martinelli then broke emphatically to tap in a fourth into the unguarded net to give the Gunners a crucial three points in the title race and return top.
