Newcastle United ended their final home match of the season in style last night as they beat Arsenal at St. James’ Park.
Callum Wilson made his long awaited return to the starting line-up after almost five months on the sidelines and played a huge part in Ben White’s own goal, before Brunio Guimaraes made it 2-0 with only five minutes remaining.
The win takes the Magpies up to 12th place in the Premier League table, meaning they can now finish as high as nineth when they take on Burnley at the weekend.
Yesterday’s victory was also only Newcastle’s second in their last 20 meetings with the Gunners and was also the first time they have scored a goal against them since September 2018.
