‎Arsenal has produced a dramatic late fightback to defeat Newcastle and lay down an early marker in the Premier League title race.

‎The Gunners were heading for a fourth consecutive defeat at St. James’ Park after falling behind to Nick Woltemade’s first-half header on Sunday

‎However, Mikel Merino headed in the equaliser before Gabriel Magalhaes powered in at the 96th-minute corner to lift Arsenal into second and within two points of leaders Liverpool.

‎Liverpool’s first defeat of the season at Crystal Palace on Saturday had given Arsenal the chance to close in at the top of the table.

‎The victory will give the Gunners belief in this season being theirs, after finishing second in each of the last three campaigns.
