Ally McCoist says Mikel Arteta is producing 'magic' at Arsenal, and is narrowly edging the impact that Eddie Howe has had at Newcastle United. Newcastle retained third spot over the weekend by coming from behind to defeat Brentford 2-1, and register a fifth league win on the spin.
The Magpies have put themselves in a strong position to achieve a top four finish, and McCoist says the momentum for third-place is definitely with Newcastle in this moment in time.
However, the Rangers legend insists that the job Arteta has done to lift Arsenal to the Premier League summit marginally outweighs Newcastle's European push under Howe this season.
