Aston villa went ahead through a goal from Ollie Watkins 5 minutes into the game but Bukayo Saka leveled the scores before Philippe Coutinho scored again to hand Villa a halftime lead.
The Gunners were level going into stoppage time before Jorginho’s strike came back off the crossbar and deflected off Emiliano Martinez into the net to spark wild celebrations.
Substitute Gabriel Martinelli capped the comeback with a fourth on the breakaway.
