Arsenal achieved a dramatic victory over Newcastle: goal in injury time.

Arsenal wins in a tense match against Newcastle

According to The Sun: Champions always have to be at their best, and Arsenal proved that. Thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes' goal in the final moments of stoppage time, Mikel Arteta's team secured the win, although it seemed they could have lost after dominating early on.

Newcastle held strong after Nick Woltemade's first-half goal, but in the sixth minute of injury time, Mikel Merino equalized, and Gabriel scored the winning goal with a header following a corner from Martin Ødegaard.

Arteta, disappointed for much of the match due to Arsenal losing their lead, expressed his emotions at the end, and it was understandable.

After losing to Liverpool and earning just one point in the match against Manchester City, Arsenal is now just two points away from the leaders.

If Arteta can lead Arsenal to the title, he will remember this game, as his team showed true resilience at a moment when everything was against them.

Tense match with controversial moments

Arsenal dominated the first 30 minutes of the game and could have gone ahead 4-0. However, after a VAR penalty cancellation, the game changed. Arsenal was outraged, believing Gabriel was fouled when Woltemade scored.

Arteta, dissatisfied with some decisions, must also recognize his mistakes. He started the game without defender William Saliba due to injury, and perhaps it wasn't wise to play all 90 minutes in the Carabao Cup match against Port Vale.

Gabriel showed true stubbornness, feeling injustice after the fall during the opponent's goal. Initially, he tried to get the whistle, but ultimately became the hero by scoring the winning goal.

After Arsenal found its rhythm, the team became even more dangerous. At the end of the match, Gabriel demonstrated that he was not alone in fighting for his team.

This game was a real test for Arsenal, showing that the team is capable of fighting until the last minutes. Importantly, Arteta found a way to motivate his players and extract maximum performance from them in a critical moment. Upcoming matches will show whether the team can continue this positive momentum in the league.
