Aaron Ramsey: 'Arsenal had to dig in to beat Newcastle United'

Aaron Ramsey has admitted that Arsenal had to "dig in" to beat Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Gunners earned a 2-1 win at St James' Park as Olivier Giroud scored twice to keep their slim title hopes alive.

Newcastle pushed hard for an equaliser during the final stages of the game, but Arsene Wenger's men were able to hold on for the three points.

Great effort from the lads. We had to dig in to come away with all 3 points. Thanks to the fans who travelled up #afc
