Arsenal’s dramatic victory today over Newcastle United not only rekindled their title ambitions, but also attracted high praise from former Manchester United defender and Skysport critic Gary Neville.
After the final whistle, Neville emphasized how important the outcome is for both gunner and manager Mikel Arteta.
Just a week ago, Arsenal’s outlook seemed dim. The disappointing result left fans questioning whether the fans have the resilience to keep pace with Liverpool’s Liverpool.
When Nick Ultemed scored, after scoring a goal against Newcastle United, the gunners had to fight Eddie Howe’s side and they fought hard.
Mikel Merino’s second half goal and Gabriel’s 96th minute winner secured three points for the gunners at St. James Park, bringing just two points to league leader Liverpool.

He said on Sky Sports:
“It’s very big for Arsenal and very big for Arteta.
“A week ago, the glass was half empty, but now it’s over half full.
“Liverpool loses and Arsenal wins in a brilliant way.
“They deserved it and they were a better soccer team. He made a really good submarine and he started with a strong team.
“It’s going to give them a lot of confidence.”
