The Gunners suffered their second loss of the campaign against the Magpies away from home. Alexander Isak scored the winner for the hosts.

Speaking after the game, Saliba said that the Gunners did not deserve a win against the Magpies, but have to do better in the forthcoming games.

With the defeat, Arsenal have dropped to fourth in the league table and most importantly, they are now seven points behind leaders Liverpool .

They have another tough outing against Chelsea on the road next weekend, but prior to that, they face Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek.
