Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side showed they are ready to go to “the next level” and win the Premier League after scoring two late goals for a vital 2-1 win at Newcastle on Sunday.
The Gunners took full advantage of Liverpool’s first defeat of the season at Crystal Palace 24 hours earlier to move up to second and within two points of the defending champions.
Nick Woltemade had put Newcastle in front against the run of play in the first half. Arsenal were headed for a damaging defeat until Mikel Merino headed in on 84 minutes before Gabriel Magalhaes won the game in the sixth minute of added time.
Arteta’s men have finished second in each of the past three seasons and have not won the title since 2004.
“Today was an opportunity that the game brings you again in a really important week in the Premier League after all the tough places that we’ve already been, very early in the season, to show who we are, who do we want to be, our ambition, and the way that we want to play.
“I think the team showed that today in a remarkable way,” Arteta said.
