Another “different arsenal” while Rooney’s praise underlines a crucial mentality shift for the Gunners. Let drama and victory that may still decide Premier League title saw Arsenal resilience. The striking turnaround has led to former England Wayne Rooney pronouncing a “different arsenal”.
St James’ Park Triumph
Against Newcastle United on Sunday, Arsenal struggled hard for a 2-1 win. It came to a stadium where they had been difficult in the past few seasons. It was a fairly late comeback, because the Gunners scored twice in the last six minutes of the game, with the second of these goals that came in the stopping time of the kick of defender Gabriel Magalhaes.
There were questions about how strong Arsenal is real when it was confronted with adversity, after he had admitted the first goal and then viewed a potential fine that VAR went against them (something that Arsenal could have derailed in the last Premier League seasons). However, they did not detect. The replacements of Mikel Arteta made a difference, where the equalizer was a result of a short corner routine converted by Mikel Merino. Gabriel eventually won the competition to show the importance of Arteta’s group ‘Finishers’.
Rooney’s approval of a new mentality
“I think this is another arsenal,” said Rooney. “I think the mentality is good, I think they are a strong team, they have good characters there and to win the Premier League to overcome challenges”.
His praise has considerable weight given his extensive experience in Premier League title races. Moreover, he believes that the victory will send a wave of trust through the team. He stated that “every Arsenal player there will be high heads, they would really be confident” on their way to the new week.
A potentially decisive moment
This meant getting much more than just three points. Recently, however, the winning mentality seemed to go wrong from Arsenal. Now, to go down and come from behind to win in a place like St James’ Park speaks volumes about psychological growth.
If Arsenal continues and conquer the title for the first time since 2004, then a victory like this is an electric moment in memories-the victory in Newcastle that serves as the precedent of the ‘different’ mentality.
