Arsenal legends David O'Leary and Pat Rice remarked that Newcastle United were 'f------ brilliant' after the Magpies became the first side to get a point at the Emirates this season.
That is according to Peter Silverstone, Newcastle's chief commercial officer, after the visitors frustrated the then league leaders during a goalless draw in the capital back in January. It was the first time Newcastle had got a result at the Emirates since 2010 on a night Eddie Howe's team certainly got under Arsenal's skin.
Nine players were booked during a fiery encounter, including Jamaal Lascelles, an unused substitute, who prevented Arsenal from taking a quick throw-in late on. Mikel Arteta was already furious by that point, after Arsenal were not awarded a penalty, and the Gunners boss was soon put in his place by Howe on the touchline.
