Carroll snatches win for Magpies

07 November 2010 16:00
Andy Carroll made headlines for the right reasons as his goal gave Newcastle a shock 1-0 win over title-chasing Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Cesc Fabregas' deflected free-kick hit the crossbar and Samir Nasri was denied by a fine one-handed save by Tim Krul, while Theo Walcott also struck the woodwork in the second half. But the Gunners lack a cutting edge in attack and had Laurent Koscielny sent off in stoppage time. Newcastle broke up play well, and were rewarded when Carroll headed home a deep free-kick in first-half stoppage time which Lukasz Fabianski failed to collect.
