Gabriel Header Seals Arsenal 2-1 at Newcastle

Arsenal came from behind to beat Newcastle 2-1 at St James' Park with Gabriel's stoppage‑time header from a corner in the sixth minute of added time. Nick Woltemade had put Newcastle ahead in the 34th minute with a short‑corner finish after a miscued back‑pass, and Mikel Merino equalised in the 84th minute. The match featured VAR controversy when a penalty decision was overturned, and goalkeeper Nick Pope produced several key saves. Newcastle fullback Tino Livramento was stretchered off with a worrying injury late in the game. The win moves Arsenal to second in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Liverpool following Liverpool’s shock defeat to Crystal Palace. Former striker Wayne Rooney praised Arsenal’s mentality, calling the display evidence of a “different Arsenal.”
