Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has singled out Jorginho for praise following their 2-0 win at Newcastle on Sunday.
Jorginho was starting his second consecutive game for the Gunners, taking Thomas Partey’s place in midfield.
The former Chelsea man put in a controlled display as Arteta’s men closed the gap between them and Manchester City to one point.
“Jorginho was exceptional, he was man of the match, there were question marks because it was going to be really physical, but if you want to go physicality against physicality, you have no chance to win the game so we had to try something different.
“He understood the game really well, he’s a really intelligent player. He gives a lot of security to the team and dominated the game in many moments,” Arteta said.
