"Gabriel Magalhaes' 96th-minute header guided Arsenal to a 2-1 comeback win at Newcastle United, as they took advantage of Liverpool's first dropped points of the season. Having seen Liverpool's perfect start to their Premier League title defence halted by Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace, Arsenal rallied for a huge win. It looked as though they would lose 1-0 on Tyneside for the third successive Premier League campaign when Nick Woltemade put Newcastle ahead in the 34th minute."
"With Arsenal growing increasingly desperate, Mikel Arteta introduced Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard for Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Zubimendi, and both substitutes were crucial to their turnaround. Merino glanced Declan Rice's in-swinging cross against the far post and in with six minutes of the 90 remaining, but Arsenal did not settle for a point. Deep into stoppage time, Pope was caught in no man's land from Odegaard's corner, with Gabriel steaming in to head home and clinch a huge win for Arteta's men."
Arsenal recovered from a 34th-minute deficit to beat Newcastle United 2-1 thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes' 96th-minute header. Nick Woltemade had given Newcastle the lead by nodding Sandro Tonali's cross into the bottom-left corner. Nick Pope produced several excellent saves, including two to deny Eberechi Eze and one to turn Jurrien Timber's header around the post. Mikel Arteta's substitutions of Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard were pivotal, with Merino hitting the post from Declan Rice's cross and Odegaard assisting the late winner from a corner. The victory placed Arsenal second, two points behind Liverpool, while Newcastle remained 15th.
