Eddie Howe has given his verdict on two controversial decisions that surrounded Newcastle's 1-0 Premier league win against Arsenal.

The Magpies boss saw his side prevail in an ill-tempered clash thanks to Anthony Gordon's 64th minute winner which enraged Gunners manager Mikel Arteta.

The 22-year-old's strike was checked by VAR for three potential infractions: Whether the ball had gone out of play in the build-up, if Newcastle striker Joelinton had fouled Gabriel and whether Gordon was offside.

The goal was eventually given to the home side.
