Robson praise for 'outstanding' Woodgate

Newcastle boss Bobby Robson hailed defensive colossus Jonathan Woodgate after watching him mastermind a vital shut-out against champions elect Arsenal.

The 24-year-old was quite simply outstanding as he and team-mates Andy O’Brien, Olivier Bernard and Aaron Hughes combined to keep Thierry Henry and Jose Reyes at bay and collect only their second clean sheet in 17 attempts.
