This victory helped Arsenal narrow the gap from the leader Liverpool to 2 points. According to Arteta, this victory was an important moment for Arsenal this season, after they lost to Liverpool not long ago.
We discussed reaching a new height, first of all learning from the past, and we have certainly learned lessons for ourselves. Today's match is an opportunity to play after a week of playing in the Premier League to show Arsenal's self and ambition.
The team did it incredibly today. There have been moments in the season and this match is one of them, especially in the context of having a difficult start on a football field where we have had a very poor performance recently, said Arteta.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal struggled against Newcastle. They have lost away to Newcastle in 4 matches in all competitions, the number is only behind Man City (losing 5 matches).
Last season, Arsenal lost to Newcastle away twice, in the Premier League and League Cup. Therefore, the "Gunners" (Arsenal's nickname) successfully coming back against Newcastle made the Spanish strategist very satisfied, especially when shortening the gap with the top team Liverpool.
I believe in the belief of the whole team that we can play many different types of games and still play and win convincingly.
For me, this is one of the most difficult courses and Newcastle are a strong team. Playing at their home ground is always difficult, but the team has really reached new heights and I am very proud to see the victory of the whole team, Arteta emphasized.
