Anthony Gordon scored the winning goal in the 64th minute which was allowed by VAR after review.

The goal cost Arsenal three points thereby leaving them third in the league table.

Newcastle are cruising high after their 3-0 win at Oldtrafford. They are currently 6th on the table after the win over Arsenal.
