These are three points that are worth much more. Led 1-0 during a large part of the match, Arsenal ended up winning against Newcastle (1-2), this Sunday afternoon in a boiling St James' Park, on behalf of the 6e Premier League day.
Unhappy during the first act, with a penalty refused to Gyökeres and several occasions including a trossard shot on the post, the Gunners were punished. It is the flagship recruit of the summer transfer window of the Magpies, Nick Woltemade, which opened the mark of the head (1-0, 34e).
Gabriel plays the heroes
Despite this blow, Mikel Arteta's men did not drop anything and were rewarded at the end of the game. Merino first equalized following a stopped kick (1-1, 84e), before Gabriel Magalhaes tears the victory at the end of an additional time with a blank out of time (1-2, 90e+6).
