Arsenal looked 'strangled by fear' against Newcastle, says Jamie Redknapp, but Eberechi Eze brings X-factor

Jamie Redknapp praised Eberechi Eze for his match-winning contribution against Newcastle but said Arsenal looked "strangled by fear" in the edgy victory at the Emirates Stadium.

But the Gunners struggled for long periods of the game after that, losing Kai Havertz to an injury in the first half before Eze had to be withdrawn early in the second.

Eze said his exit was just precautionary while Arteta played down the severity of both issues in his post-match press conference as Arsenal celebrated a narrow victory which could have turned out differently if not for a glaring miss by Newcastle's Yoane Wissa.
