WHAT HAPPENED? Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday with a 4-2 victory at Aston Villa. The Gunners had to come from behind twice to snatch all three points, and Zinchenko says his team have learned some valuable lessons at Villa Park.

WHAT THEY SAID: "From this game I would like to say two things. First we took an unbelievable lesson for all of us that we need to believe until the very end," he told BT Sport. "Like I said in the past, this group has such amazing people, can achieve everything they want. If we are going to keep fighting and keep believing. The reaction from all of us in the second half is a perfect way to go."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Jorginho also spoke about the importance of the win and how a half-time chat helped improve the team's performance in the second 45 minutes.

"That’s the Premier League. That’s why it’s the best league in the world. It’s just beautiful. It was very important after the last results we had. The start wasn't easy when we were not producing our game," the midfielder said. "We came in at half-time, had a chat and then we went back doing the basics we need to do and changed the game.The last time I hit the post and it went back off the keeper it didn’t go in so I’m glad today it did."
