Gunners trail to Carroll header at break
Arsenal 0 Newcastle 1
Andy Carroll headed Newcastle into a shock half-time lead against title-chasing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Cesc Fabregas’ deflected free-kick hit the bar and Samir Nasri was denied by a fine one-handed save by Tim Krul, but the Gunners lacked a cutting edge in attack.
Newcastle broke up play well, and were rewarded when Carroll headed in a deep free-kick which Lukasz Fabianski failed to collect.
