Arsenal close to Liverpool with late comeback win at Newcastle

News summary

Arsenal secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against Newcastle United in the English Premier League, with two late headed goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel Magalhães. The win moved Arsenal to second place in the standings, just two points behind league leaders Liverpool, who had suffered a surprise defeat to Crystal Palace the previous day. Despite Newcastle taking an early lead through Nick Woltemade, Arsenal showed resilience and character, with manager Mikel Arteta calling it a "statement" win that demonstrated the team's determination. Controversy surrounded the match as Arsenal had a penalty initially awarded but later overturned by VAR, while Newcastle's penalty claims were dismissed. Gabriel’s stoppage-time winner sparked wild celebrations, underscoring the growing pressure on Liverpool at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Newcastle remains in the lower half of the table, struggling with form, and Aston Villa recorded their first league win of the season against Fulham.
