Bukayo Saka was appointed Arsenal Captain for the game in St James’ Park on Sunday.
The wing player in England who sees Newcastle United taking a first half header.
Bukayo Saka suppressed 70 minutes while Newcastle United held in defense, with Nick Pope made a number of excellent saves.
While the clock tapped, the Merino ended up the pole to rank the same in the 84th minute.
Then Bukayo looked up Saka from the couch while Gabriel scored a very late winner in extra time.
Bukayo Saka speaks with the official arsenal site After Newcastle 1 Arsenal 2:
“It was a big result.
“We came here in the past and the results went against us, or decisions and things like that. It started to feel that way today, but we have a big character, a big fight to turn it around, so we are really happy.
“In the past we came here and we have had decisions to go against us and whatever, and almost today, with the penalty and some decisions, and Nick Pope with an incredible game.
“But we have buried and we have shown that character, the resilience that we have, so I am really proud of all the boys. We have made a big explanation today. It’s really good for us, you can see it in all our faces.
“We had to run to the corner flag and share the moment with Gabi! It is a big moment for us as a team.
‘I enjoyed [the game]. I felt good, it was clear that I had just returned and three games in a week. I felt really good outside of it. I felt that we dominated the game, we checked it and eventually we got what we deserved.
“It is a wonderful feeling every time I can wear the bracelet, and even better if we get three points, so I am really happy.”
