Granit Xhaka has dedicated Arsenal's win over Newcastle to Sead Kolasinac and Mesut Ozil.

Both players missed Sunday's match after two men were arrested out the front of Ozil's home on Saturday. There are safety concerns for the duo after they were the victims of an attempted car-jacking last month in London.

Xhaka said: "We know the story about Sead and Mesut.

"It's not easy for them or their family. So we tried to do our best and to get the win for them."

On his team's performances, Xhaka added: "It's always good if you win away. Newcastle is a difficult game.

"I think the first half from both sides was defensive with not a lot of chances. In the second half, in my opinion, we were the better team. We are happy to bring the three points back."
