Newcastle comeback left Barton speechless

Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton admits he was struggling for words to describe their comeback against Arsenal.

The Toon really should have beaten Arsenal in their amazing 4-4 draw.

Barton said: "If anything sums up football, that was it. At half-time, the game was over against such a great side as Arsenal. But a little bit of lack of discipline with them and the momentum swung in our favour.

"We could have won the game 5-4, 6-4 - Kevin Nolan had a good chance. Very rarely am I lost for words, but in this case, I am a little bit.

"It doesn't happen every week, that. Days like this are few and far between. I don't think the old ticker can take too many more of those."
