Arsenal winger Theo Walcott issues warning to Tottenham following last-minute win over Newcastle A third-place finish would have been unthinkable at the turn of the year for Arsenal when they were struggling to put a decent run of results together after a woeful beginning to the campaign. But the Londoners have now racked up five straight wins in all competitions, four of which have come from losing positions. Three recent victories - over Sunderland, Liverpool and Newcastle yesterday, came courtesy of injury-time winners - something which Arsene Wenger believes shows how strong his team's character is. We won in the last minute at Sunderland, Liverpool and now Newcastle. That shows we have absolute commitment," the Arsenal manager said. They are refusing to lose. That's fantastic. Thomas Vermaelen was the man who snatched all three points last night, turning home Walcott's cross in the 95th minute after Arsenal had equalised Hatem Ben Arfa's opener through Robin van Persie. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was happy with his team's efforts, but lamented the fact that they went on the attack in the final throes of injury time, leaving them vulnerable to a killer goal. "We are very disappointed because we had the ball in their corner in the 94th minute," he said. We had a few problems towards the end of the game - Cheick Tiote had cramp, Danny [Simpson] had an injury, and in the end he couldn't get back to end to stop the goal. When the board went up saying there were five extra minutes, I could see our weary bodies and I knew it was going to be a long five minutes. I thought we had just done enough but we hadn't.
