"To win in the manner that we have done it, wow, what a feeling!"
"Football is about emotion and going through things and today we had a beautiful one at the end of the match."
"There are moments in the season and obviously with the start that we had already, and the difficult fixtures that we had, we have the opportunity to close that gap," Arteta said. "To do it in a stadium that has a very recent and difficult past for us I think it shows how much the team wants it (the title)."
Arsenal recovered from a first-half deficit to beat Newcastle United 2-1 at St James' Park. Nick Woltemade gave Newcastle the lead with a header, Mikel Merino equalised with a headed goal, and Gabriel Magalhaes scored a 96th-minute winner from a corner. The victory lifted Arsenal into second place, two points behind Liverpool, and ended a recent disappointing run at the stadium. The match featured tense, bad-tempered moments but the last-minute turnaround provided a significant morale boost and reinforced Arsenal's belief in their prospects after three consecutive second-place finishes.
