Chris Wheatley’s Arsenal player ratings as one scores 8 and four 6/10s in Aston Villa win

Arsenal scored two stoppage time goals to secure three points against Aston Villa and return to the top of the Premier League.

Villa led twice through first half goals from Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho, which were cancelled out by Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko's excellent strikes.

Jorginho gave Mikel Arteta's side the lead in stoppage time thanks to a deflection off former goalkeeper Emi Martinez, and minutes later Gabriel Martinelli made sure of the win finishing off an open goal.

Here’s how we rated the Arsenal players:

Aaron Ramsdale - Made two saves, one of which was a vital stop towards the end of the game to tip Leon Bailey’s effort onto the crossbar. 7.

Ben White - Produced the cross for Saka’s opening goal and looked refreshed after being dropped for the Manchester City game. 6.

Gabriel - Won two out of his three ground duels with a 94 per cent pass accurate. Solid performance. 6.

William Saliba - Played Ollie Watkins onside for the opener although he was let down by Zinchenko’s error. Improved in the second half. 6.

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Gave the ball away for Villa’s first goal, but what a comeback. Superb strike and showed the required mental strength to guide Arsenal through the game. 7.

Granit Xhaka - Wasn’t his best game and was brought off in the second half. 5.

Jorginho - What an important goal that could be come May. He’s only been at the club for less than a month but would have repaid his transfer fee with that crucial strike. 8.

Martin Odegaard - Missed a sitter in the game but produced a much improved second half performance. 6.

Leandro Trossard - Did superbly well with a pre-assist for Saka’s goal. An excellent performance. 6.

Bukayo Saka - Another important goal and first class game from the England international. 7.

Eddie Nketiah - Missed a couple of chances, one of which he could have done a lot better with. 5.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Came on and saw the game out. Did his job well. 6.

Fabio Vieira - Sharp, incisive and pushing for a start in the Arsenal XI. 7.

Gabriel Martinelli - Scored the winning goal and had a good game. 7.

Kieran Tierney - Came on in the final minutes of the game. N/A
