Jorginho shows his value

Games like this are why Jorginho is still around in the Arsenal squad. Against what could be described as a lesser opponent, Arteta was able to move Declan Rice to the bench for a much-needed breather, and the Italian stepped superbly well.

Good at both ends of the pitch, Jorginho also slotted home his penalty with authority as the Italian kept the Gunners' midfield ticking over.

Not a regular starter by any means, but when asked to put in a shift to allow others a break, he put on a decent showing.
