Gary Neville has claimed that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta "doesn’t have faith" in £34million summer signing Fabio Vieira after he failed to come off the bench on Tuesday night.
The Gunners welcomed a resilient Newcastle side to the Emirates who were hell-bent on making life as difficult as possible for their hosts and did exactly that, clinging on for a 0-0 draw which slightly dents Arsenal's momentum as they look to challenge for a first title in 19 years.
For large periods of the game, Arsenal were camped in the final third desperately trying to unpick Newcastle's low block but their efforts proved unsuccessful, much to the frustration of Arteta. The Spaniard was constantly in the ear of the fourth official and actually exchanged verbals with counterpart Eddie Howe shortly before the full-time whistle.
