Champions League play may be coming for both sides, but Newcastle United and Arsenal will have quite a Premier League clash on Sunday with early momentum at stake, aiming not to look too far ahead.

Arsenal’s recent form at St James’ Park was three defeats and zero goals in three games, so it’s unsurprising that one of Mikel Arteta’s messages to his team was to “learn from the past”.

The visitors were frustrated as they wasted several opportunities, but netted twice late on as Mikel Merino glanced in a header in the 84th minute, before Gabriel found the winner in the 96th.
