‘We are the Arsenal’ – Arsenal fans in jubilant mood as the Gunners return back on top of the Premier League
Arsenal started Saturday Premier League action with an emphatic 4-2 win at Aston Villa.
It seemed the Gunners were heading for another defeat after their mid-week loss to Manchester City as they were down 2-1 to the Villans at halftime.
However, they showed determination and fought their way back at Villa Park, with second half goals from Oleksandr Zinchenko, Emiliano Martinez (own goal) and Gabriel Martinelli, the latter two strikes coming in injury time.
Fans have taken to social media to react to the big win that keeps their title hopes on track.

£12m on Jorginho was absolutely super business from #Arsenal. He doesn’t have Partey’s physical ability, but he was superb on the ball today, and off the ball he was always coaching, directing and motivating. That’s exactly why we signed him. Huge performance. #ASTARS #AFC pic.twitter.com/MHwbx4HX6u

The bounce back was always going to be the test for #Arsenal. At times today, our players looked exhausted, Saka was kicked to pieces again, but the intensity, desire and fight in the second half showed that this team has character. Don’t write off this young team yet. #ASTARS pic.twitter.com/I9xPgNFgq8

It's football and that happens. Everybody knows that when you miss chances like that you can concede a goal out of nothing. It's not lack of hunger etc, just poor finishing. But in context of title race, after Wednesday and Arsenal's win earlier, it's unforgivable to draw that

Once again, Aaron Ramsdale saves the day for Arsenal.
That save on Bailey’s effort. Outrageous stop.

Manchester City were hoping to get Gold with the goal from Silva..
Only for Nottingham to burn it with Wood from their Forest.

The result was a big boost for manager Mikel Arteta as it returned Arsenal back to the top of the table with Man City drawing their match 1-1 at Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners will be up against Leicester City as they continue their push for a first league title since 2004.
