Although it took until just before the hour mark, Arsenal’s opener against Newcastle was well deserved, and certainly well executed.

Saka and Emile Smith Rowe showed in the space of a few passes, however, the difference in quality between the two sides.

Mikel Arteta will surely have been delighted by the sharpness of their movement to engineer the space for the finish.
