Mikel Arteta’s half-time talk was the true catalyst for Arsenal's comeback AFC
Jorginho has quickly won over the Arsenal fans following his January move from Chelsea
The 40-year-old remarked: “When I see the reaction of [Oleksandr] Zinchenko and when I see the reaction of Granit [Xhaka] going through the pitch [to celebrate with the travelling fans from the bench]… is not because I think something is different, you have to do it and the moment is now. After 45 minutes it’s gone’ and they really reacted.’”Asked if he told the squad they have to win at half-time, he replied: “It’s now, it’s now, it’s now.
“We have to raise individual level and do the simple things right and play with much more purpose and quality.” Arsenal are set for another tough away trip next week when they return to the Midlands to face Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
