Xhaka warns Arsenal teammates: Newcastle destroyed us last season

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has warned teammates not to relax after last night's 3-1 win against Chelsea.

The victory sees Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League table.

Next up is Newcastle at St James' Park, where Arsenal were hammered last season.

"We don't forget the game we had there last season," he told Sky Sports.

"I have to be honest they destroyed us. They were much, much better, they wanted it more. We have to go there and show them we are ready and why we are where we are.

"We deserve to be where we are at the moment. But it will be a very tough moment because Newcastle are doing a very good job."

He added: "We have to go there and believe and to play our game and hopefully we can take the three points back to London."
