Newcastle United rattled Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium to snare a point from the Premier League leaders. And they were good value for it as Eddie Howe's side displayed both a threat on the break and defensive grit at the other end.
On a night in which Howe's team only had 33 per cent possession they still created eight goal attempts to stay involved in both the Champions League race and the title conversation. Howe opted to make a tweak in his front three for the encounter at the Emirates Stadium with Callum Wilson coming back into the team for Chris Wood.
Joelinton was also selected ahead of Allan Saint-Maximin with the French winger still waiting for his first Premier League since August. On a rainy but mild winter evening in the capital, Sean Longstaff won a free-kick just 90 seconds into the game but Kieran Trippier's delivery was cleared by the home side.
