    SHOTLIST: SHOTLIST: St. James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. 29 August 2015

    1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:

    "I believe that we needed to not rush our game and wait for our chances and take one of them. I must say that Newcastle decided from the start to make the game quite physical."

    2. 00:14 SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:

    "For us it was important (to win). We know we'll turn it around at home. So it was important mathamatically first not to drop points today, not to be too far from the top teams and mentally as well because we dropped points at home, to win away from home puts you under pressure straight away. We had two difficult away games at Crystal Palace and Newcastle - we got six points and that is very good."

    3. 00:43 SOUNDBITE (English) Steve McClaren, Newcastle United head coach:

    "Obviously, it's very difficult with 10 men in the Premier League - in any league. But against Arsenal, one of the teams that can keep the ball. We've had that twice now at Swansea and Arsenal. All you can really show is spirit, fight, togetherness, discipline, organisation, good defending, staying in the game and I thought the players did that tremendously. And I think they were backed by unbelievable crowd at times

    4. 01:09 SOUNDBITE (English) Steve McClaren, Newcastle United head coach (on Mitrovic red card):

    "I've seen it over and over. It's come over his head, he's looking at the ball. There's no intent, no maliciousness. There's just a coming down and he just kind of stamped on his foot.

    5. 01:21 SOUNDBITE (English) Steve McClaren, Newcastle United head coach (on Mitrovic red card):

    "The referee at the beginning of the game (sent Mitrovic off and) I thought was a bit too soon and a bit too harsh. Trying to put a stamp on the game and he ruined it in the end."
