On the hour mark, Oleksandr Zinchenko’s low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom right corner gave Mikel Arteta’s team an equaliser. Arsenal was in danger of losing its fourth straight Premier League game, but in stoppage time, January newcomer Jorginho scored when his drive from the edge of the box hit Emiliano Martinez in the back of the head and hit the crossbar.

After Martinez stepped up to attack a last-second corner, Gabriel Martinelli added a fourth nearly immediately. The Arsenal striker then launched a counterattack, scoring on an empty net. The north London team started the day in second place after dropping a key game to Manchester City on Wednesday. Later on Saturday, they travel to newly promoted Nottingham Forest.
