Kai Havertz struck in Arsenal’s 4-1 demolition of Newcastle United on Saturday (PA)Eddie Howe believes Arsenal are one of the best teams Newcastle United have faced this season following his side’s 4-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening. Mikel Arteta’s side delivered a dominant performance at the Emirates Stadium to remain two points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool and one off second-placed Manchester City, who sealed a 1-0 win over Bournemouth earlier on Saturday.
