Arsenal fullback Zinchenko: Victory at Aston Villa proved champions' character

Arsenal fullback Oleksandr Zinchenko believes his side have what it takes to win the Premier League.

The Gunners have remained tight lipped about title talk so far this season.

However, Zinchenko made his Premier League title admission after his side came from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-2 on Saturday.

Zinchenko said, post-game: “I would say that everyone here, and I've said already in the past many times, this group of people can achieve a lot of good things in the future if we work hard together and keep going in this way.

“It's about the Premier League as well, it's the strongest league in the world and these kind of games, the reaction we showed in the second half, we showed our character and this team has balls.

“I remember at City, we were also like losing, down at half-time, but in the second half, the response from the team was perfect and I would call these kind of dramatic games, they are like 'champions games'. I'm not saying anything about the title yet because there's still a lot of games to play but this is the sort of character that you need, the direction we need and that is the key."
