Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed the performance of Jorginho for victory at Aston Villa.

Arteta lauded Jorginho but made a point of praising the team's emotional maturity in the way they fought back.

"Today I think we can take two big lessons," the manager said. "In the first half, we did the simple things wrong and in the second half we raised our individual level and did the simple things right. We totally merited the win.

"Jorginho produced an incredible moment. For us it will be Jorginho's goal. Psychologically it was really tough to get that result against Manchester City and then less than three days later we come to Aston Villa and win, which is a difficult thing to do.

"We showed character, quality and had the right temperament and personality. We didn't throw our toys away. Emotionally I think we coped really well."
