Joelinton in Heated Clash With Arsenal Coach After Newcastle Defeat

Newcastle United star Joelinton was involved in a heated moment with an Arsenal coach on the back of their Premier League clash.

On Sunday afternoon, Mikel Arteta's men had the chance to go within two points of leaders Liverpool, after Arne Slot's men produced an abysmal display during their 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace.

However, Newcastle went 1-0 up in the first half thanks to a goal from summer signing Nick Woltemade, who headed in Sandro Tonali's fine cross.

In the second period, the Gunners pushed for an equaliser and eventually got what they deserved as Mikel Merino expertly headed in with six minutes left to play.

Deep into stoppage time, Arsenal sealed all three points thanks to another headed goal, this time from Gabriel Magalhaes, who rose highest to secure the victory.

As a result, Arsenal moved up to second place with 13 points, two behind champions Liverpool.

After referee Jarred Gillett blew the final whistle at St. James' Park, Magpies star Joelinton was seen having words with a member of Arteta's backroom staff, believed to be Miguel Molina.

In a video posted on social media, the pair exchanged words before Joelinton pushed Molina, whom Arteta eventually ushered away.

Joelinton was then led away by Newcastle coach Simon Weatherstone before the Brazilian was seen having words with Gunners boss Arteta.

Mikel Arteta reacts to dramatic win over Newcastle

Reflecting on the vital win, Arteta said: "The belief, the conviction of the team that we are and that we can play various types of games and the team still can deliver and win it in a convincing way.

"And for me today, it's one of the most difficult grounds. Again, praise Newcastle, the way they play, compete, how difficult it is to play in this place. But the team really took the game to a different level, and I'm very proud to see that."

Arsenal are back in action on Wednesday night when they take on Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League.
