Newcastle United came from a goal down to beat Arsenal 2-1 on Sunday and extend the Gunners' wretched run away from home in the Premier League.
Alexandre Lacazette's opener was overturned by strikes from Ayoze Perez and Matt Ritchie, as Rafa Benitez's side ended a 10-game losing streak against Arsenal and took another huge step towards safety.
Arsenal, though, have now lost five in a row on their travels in the top flight for the first time since December 1984 and are just two points above seventh-place Burnley in the table.

I wish arsenal have a couch but since they only a guy who refuses to go and does not believe that he has outlived his usefulness, it becomes extremely impossible to perform or persuade anyone to support them.soon and very soon arsenal must be prepared to play in an empty field without any fan .arsenal is no longer an international team. its name will need like several seasons to rebuild. what the hell is the owners. they have no feelings. they only fell money and no feelings of club's fans.today's bad day for anyone who thinks about arsenal .I wish to see a miracle of owners loosing arsenal to a credible investor who not only thinks about money but the state of fans when the clubs lacks silverware and any tittle.I'm mad with arsene.if he has a home in France he should go and retire there.and never to come.has ruined his reputation big time.
