Martin Odegaard and Jorginho have hailed the "big step" Arsenal have taken by proving they can win ugly as they defeated Newcastle.
In a departure from their usual style of wins, the Gunners conceded the majority of possession to the Magpies. The hosts also had more shots and a higher Expected Goal ratio, but it was Mikel Arteta's men who claimed all three points at St James' Park.
The win came thanks to an early strike from captain Odegaard and a late own-goal by Fabian Schar. It moved Arteta's side back to within a point of Manchester City, who have overtaken them in the Premier League title race.
