'Feeling as important as the points'

The feeling around Arsenal's win at Newcastle is as important as the three points that the team picked up.

The Gunners have had a tough start to the Premier League with games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and now the Magpies.

Mikel Arteta's team selection had been criticised for being too conservative but during the fixture he showed that he is not afraid to take risks.

The Arsenal manager started Eberechi Eze in place of Mikel Merino and having his creativity and goal threat made a difference.

Arteta also played Leandro Trossard at left back when chasing the win and his messages from the sideline were for his players to push for the win.

Arsenal have played well in most of their matches but navigating a tricky start and picking up a win in this manner - at a place where they have struggled in the past - will be so important for this squad.
