Newry City AFC Overview

Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season with a dramatic 2-0 victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. In a chaotic two-minute sequence, David Raya produced a stunning penalty save to deny the hosts before Bruno Guimaraes scored a magnificent long-range opener to silence his former rivals.

Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes has opened up about the emotional toll of his Champions League final penalty miss against Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian defender remains undeterred and insists he is ready to step up to the spot again should the opportunity arise.

Granit Xhaka has offered the highest possible praise to Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris, sensationally comparing the Frenchman to legendary Arsenal icon Arsene Wenger. The Swiss midfielder, who enjoyed a trophy-laden career under some of Europe’s most elite tactical minds, believes his current boss possesses a unique quality that mirrors the greatest manager in Gunners history.

Arsenal icon Emmanuel Petit believes the Gunners may have actually done themselves a favour by failing to land Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Jr during the summer transfer window. Despite Mikel Arteta's clear desire to add a world-class attacking threat to his Premier League-winning squad, Petit suggests the Brazilian's temperament could have disrupted the harmony at the Emirates.
