Arsenal snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in front of a stunned St James' Park crowd as Mikel Arteta's side ran out the 2-1 winners against Eddie Howe's Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
The visitors' trip to Tyneside was not without its challenges: within the first 15 minutes of the tie, the Gunners found themselves on the wrong side of a contentious refereeing decision that saw a penalty shout drawn from a foul on Viktor Gyokeres was overturned upon review.
Just past the half-an-hour mark, Newcastle punished them further, with Nick Woltemade netting the goal which handed the hosts the lead for much of the match.
