Arsenal defender Ben White has revealed manager Mikel Arteta wanted him to mark Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon out of the game a fortnight ago.

White says he's happy to carry out whatever Arteta wants him to do.

Recalling victory over Newcastle, White said: "Before the game we have instructions of how they are going to do well and what processes they have to be able to hurt us. Gordon was one of them.

“My job was to stop him rolling inside so I had to get as tight as possible, otherwise foul him. He's going inside if not.

“Every game, normally the winger is the best player, so it's always a challenge and I have to do my homework and try to stop him.

“I know I'm not going to stop everyone and I know I'm not the best one-v-one defender but I know I can do things to help the team in game situations against their winger."
