Despite trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Gunners produced a stunning second-half performance, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring the winning goal in the 69th minute.
Speaking after the match, Aubameyang revealed that interim boss Freddie Ljungberg's half-time team talk had inspired the comeback, saying, 'At half-time, Freddie told us to play with a higher tempo. It was tough but we have the quality in the squad, and if we believe in ourselves, we can go forward and win games.'
