Burn: Newcastle draw at Arsenal a huge result

Newcastle United defender Dan Burn declared their draw at Arsenal as "huge".

Newcastle held the Premier League leaders in London to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday night.

Burn said: "Huge. Arsenal are really good and are a tough team to figure out. I think we did really well and weathered the storm for a bit and it shows how resilient we've been for probably the past year. When we're not playing at our best we're hard to beat.

"Bukayo Saka is a great player and he can go both ways. The wingers helped us a lot to double up on him. We got to grips with it as the game went on. We've got a good mix of young lads and experienced players in the team so we grew into the game. We're happy with the point.

"We're believing in the philosophy. We're all working for each other and it was really important to get that clean sheet tonight.

"I think you've got to [frustrate them]. A lot of people expect you to let them win. There's a lot of ways to win a football game. We managed it well."
