Player ratings: Arsenal 4-1 Newcastle

Arsenal were back to their sensational best on Saturday night with an impressive 4-1 win over Newcastle.

The Gunners were rampant, particularly in the first half when they more than deserved their 2-0 lead. An own goal was followed by a Havertz strike to put the home side in control.

Second half goals from Bukayo Saka and Jakub Kiwior made it four, before Hale End graduate Joe Willock came off the bench to nod in a consolation goal.
