A Ben White own goal and a late strike from Bruno Guimaraes were enough to secure three points against the top four chasing Gunners.

The Brazilian interrupted Targett’s interview with NUFC TV to state: “He needs to stay,” while pointing at the January loan arrival.
Targett, who was serenaded by the home supporters following the match, then took to Instagram as he posted: “Last game at St James’s Park and what a game it was. Atmosphere was electric once again! One more to go.”
Newcastle face Burnley in their final match of the season this weekend as they look to end a memorable season on a high.

And former Villa player Gabby Agbonlahor was quick to remind Targett that his time on Tyneside is in fact coming to an end.
He responded to the 26-year-old’s Instagram post with the message: “Don’t get comfortable! [You’re] a Villa player!”
