Newcastle United’s Premier League fixture against Arsenal was a full-blooded battle, and it was the North East giants who emerged victorious.
A solitary Anthony Gordon goal in the second half was the difference at St James’ Park, but this was three points born of fight, battle and grit from one to 11, minute one to 90.
A fiery encounter on Tyneside brought frustration, anger, drama and entertainment all into one. Referee decisions and VAR dominated the post-match talk but the Magpies won’t really care after edging past Mikel Arteta’s men.

The Var at the centre of the PSG-Newcastle penalty controversy has been removed from Champions League duty after authorities concluded both he and the referee were at fault.

That is more than Borussia Dortmund, Lazio, Inter Milan, Real Sociedad and PSV Eindhoven, all of whom have already qualified for the knockout stages, have each scored in five games in the competition this term.
Owen Farrell decided to step back from England duties to protect his and his family’s mental health after the pressure of international captaincy, including being booed by his own fans, became overbearing.
