The manager also claimed that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-martin-odegaard-tactical-tweaks-inspired-gunners-win-newcastle/bltface48ee6d8c449d" target="_blank">he was left impressed by his team's off-the-ball movements</a> which were lacking in their defeat against FC Porto in the Champions League earlier in the week.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the game, Arteta said, "I'm really happy with the performance against a Newcastle team who are really really good. The boys were really good, really aggressive and we deserved to win the game. They [Newcastle] have a lot of resources to create issues but we continued in the same way, we maintained our rhythm and it was a joy to watch the team play."We are really happy, we have to continue to do the things that we are doing well. There are still things that we can do better and we are bringing big players back from injury so that is a big boost. Against Porto, we were ourselves with the ball but not without the ball. It was a big lesson and you learn a lot from those moments."

WHAT MIKEL ARTETA SAID

Sven Botman's own goal handed the north London club the lead in the 18th minute before Kai Havertz doubled his team's lead in the first half. Bukayo Saka and Jakub Kiwior then scored a goal each in the 65th and 69th minute to seal the crucial three points. Joe Willock then netted a consolation goal for Eddie Howe's side in the 84th minute.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Gunners are set to face Sheffield United and Brentford in their next two Premier League matches before they take on FC Porto in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 fixture on March 12.
