In tonight's late Premier League match, Arsenal waited to score until the beginning of the second half.

Bukayo Saka was released in the middle by captain Martin Ödegaard and coolly slotted in 1-1.

Just five minutes later, Gabriel Martinelli came free from a tight angle on the left and found a gap at the front post for 2-1.

Lukasz Fabianski was wrong and had missed closing that gap.

Newcastle are playing without the long-term injured Isak

The Arsenal anthem took on a new level when Eddie Nketiah made it 3-1 after a furious attack that loosened up the West Ham defence.

Nketiah turned away his guard and rifled the ball in, his 11th goal in his last 11 starts in all types of games at the Emirates.

Here, too, it was Ödegaard who was behind the opening assist.

Sensational team Newcastle is temporarily at least in second place in the limping table.

Today they beat Leicester away 3-0.

- I want the fans to believe that we can do anything, says coach Eddie Howe, who since September has had to do without thigh-injured Swedish star forward Alexander Isak, who suffered several setbacks and is not yet ready for games.

The comeback is postponed all the time.
