Bukayo Saka hails Arsenal's big statement in Newcastle comeback

Bukayo Saka believes Arsenal delivered "a big statement" after coming from behind to snatch a dramatic 2-1 victory at St James’ Park.

The Gunners looked set for another frustrating afternoon on Tyneside, courtesy of Nick Woltemade's second goal since arriving on Tyneside.

Former Newcastle midfielder Mikel Merino scored a towering header to equalise for Mikel Arteta's side, before Gabriel headed in a dramatic 96th-minute winner, which snapped Arsenal’s run of three consecutive defeats at St James' Park.

Saka, captaining the side in Martin Odegaard's absence, insisted the win underlined the character within Arteta's squad.

"It was a big result," he told Arsenal media after the game.
