Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce admits he's taken heart from Mikel Arteta's improvement at Arsenal.

Bruce has presided over a run of eight games in all competitions without a win which has left him squarely in the sights of a growing band of critics.

By contrast, Arsenal counterpart Arteta has stopped the rot at the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks having gone unbeaten in five matches.

He said: “Look, no matter whether you're me in charge of Newcastle or whoever you're in charge of in the Premier League, we're always under the pump in terms of results and at the minute, results haven't been good enough for us.

“It's part and parcel of the game that you have to accept these days. A few weeks ago, it was Arteta; Frank's in the middle of it now; all of a sudden, Wolves have won one in eight.

“It is part and parcel of the Premier League. If you don't get enough results, then unfortunately that's the way it is these days and we have to accept it – then you come under pressure.

“They (Arsenal) have had a few decent results in a short period of time, which always helps. Just at the right time, he (Arteta) has had a good run."
