Newcastle 1 Arsenal 0 – United are absolutely back… brilliant!

Newcastle 1 Arsenal 0 – Saturday 4 November 5.30pm

Absolutely bloody brilliant.

Every single Newcastle United player giving it everything.

Getting the victory their commitment deserved, despite woeful match officials.

The referee a disgrace as he reused to send Havertz off for a truly cowardly challenge.

However, that simply ignited the crowd even more, as after giving the Arsenal coward only a yellow, the ref somehow managed to book three Newcastle players in a matter of seconds.

Even the winning goal VAR looked at three different ways to try and rule it out.

However, Gordon’s strike from a Joelinton knockdown stood AND the good guys won.

Just how good does this feel!

Beating another cockney team after hammering the Manc one on Wednesday.

The last nine weeks have now seen twelve games, eight wins, eight clean sheets, thee draws, one defeat, twenty eight goals scored and only six conceded.

What a team, what a squad, what a coaching set-up led by the superb Eddie Howe.
