Gary Neville was left surprised by Arsenal's performance as the Gunners ran out 2-0 winners over Newcastle United. The former Manchester United defender felt the Magpies would eat Arsenal alive prior to the game, so impressive was the atmosphere at St. James' Park.
Neville told Sky sports: "I though they could get eaten alive here today. On the way up I thought they'd get eaten alive and then when I saw the atmosphere before the game and in the first five minutes, nothing that I saw changed my mind.
"It was ferocious. I have to say Arsenal grew up here today a lot.
