Gunners silence Magpies

Arsenal 3, Newcastle 2

Henry had earlier put Arsenal ahead only for Laurent Robert to equalise and the Gunners squandered a second advantage when Olivier Bernard quickly cancelled out Gilberto Silva's header. However, with just 10 minutes left, referee Mike Riley penalised Jermaine Jenas for handball and Henry was on hand to fire Arsenal to victory after a week of off-pitch controversy.

The visitors went behind after just 19 minutes as Thierry Henry capitalised on a shocking error by Titus Bramble, but Robert hit back shortly after Patrick Vieira had gone off injured.
