Mikel Arteta sends message after Arsenal beat Newcastle

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has sent his reaction following the club's terrific comeback win versus Newcastle United in the Premier League.

The Gunners were winless in the last three trips to St James' Park and a similar result was on the cards after Nick Woltemade opened the scoring.

However, Arsenal worked hard for the result and eventually got their reward. Mikel Merino bagged a late equaliser before Gabriel's stoppage time winner.

Speaking after the game, Arteta said that it is an unbelievable feeling and the club deserved to pick up maximum points from the encounter.

He said: "Unbelievable feeling. That's what football is about and a team. When you get what you deserve right at the end, it's not a better feeling than that."

Arsenal have reduced the deficit to leaders Liverpool to just two points following their terrific comeback triumph over the Magpies on the road.

They will now turn their focus to the Champions League. The Gunners host Olympiacos in the second matchday of the league phase on Wednesday.
