Arsenal showed incredible resilience and belief as they grabbed a dramatic late victory over Newcastle United in a thrilling Premier League clash at St. James’ Park. The Gunners came from behind to snatch all three points with a stoppage-time header from Gabriel Magalhães, sending the away supporters into wild celebration.
The match started brightly for Newcastle, who took the lead in the 34th minute through a powerful header by Nick Woltemade after a well-worked set piece. Arsenal dominated possession but struggled to break down the disciplined Magpies’ defense, with goalkeeper Nick Pope pulling off key saves to keep them at bay.
Arsenal’s persistence finally paid off in the 84th minute when Mikel Merino rose highest to meet a pinpoint corner from Declan Rice, leveling the game and breathing new life into Mikel Arteta’s side. With the clock ticking deep into added time, the Gunners continued to press forward, and their relentless pressure was rewarded when Gabriel powered home another corner in the 96th minute—an unforgettable moment that sealed the comeback.
The victory not only showcased Arsenal’s never-say-die attitude but also lifted them into second place in the Premier League table, just two points off top spot. It was a performance filled with heart, determination, and a reminder that this Arsenal team is capable of grinding out big wins even under immense pressure.
Newcastle, on the other hand, will be disappointed after a strong first half and missed chances to kill the game off. Conceding two late goals from set pieces will be a bitter pill to swallow for Eddie Howe’s men, who now face a tough task of regrouping after such a heartbreaking finish.
With the title race heating up, Arsenal’s thrilling win sends a strong message to their rivals: this team is ready to fight until the final Whistle
