Arsenal boss Arteta: Jorginho magnificent against Newcastle

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta dubbed Jorginho "magnificent" after victory over Newcastle.

The midfielder was superb in the 4-1 win.

Arteta said: "He's a top player. Especially when opponents have certain behaviours and set-ups, the way I imagine the game, he was going to have a big impact. After, you have to do it at this level. When he's not playing consistently, credit to him because he was magnificent again today.

"He certainly is (at his peak), but individually today we were outstanding.

"We raised the bar at the end because Newcastle are a top side who are really well coached. It's really difficult to do what we done today and make them suffer like we've done, so credit to the boys."
