Martin Keown believes the key to Arsenal's victory at Newcastle United on Sunday was playing Eddie Howe's side at their own game.
Praising Arsenal's game management in the 2-0 win at St James' Park, Keown felt Arsenal frustrated Newcastle players with their time-wasting during the game, claiming 'you can't win every game by playing beautiful football'.
Keown had previously labelled the Magpies as the 'best spoilers' in the league. He noted after January's reverse meeting at the Emirates that ended goalless that Howe's side had been trying to delay things and said that had he been a player in the game he would have been having a word with the referee about time-wasting.
