Not for the first time this season, despite their lofty league position, Arsenal were blunt as an attacking force from open play. Just moments later Cunha took aim from outside the box and delivered a telling blow to the Gunners' hopes of a first league title in 22 years. "We are competing against Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham... Wow, the power they have!" Newcastle slip to ninth but still only four points outside the top five, which will likely be enough for a place in the Champions League.
