After last night's game ended, Granit Xhaka was seen telling Arsenal supporters to remain positive.
With Manchester City scheduled to visit Chelsea tomorrow, the Gunners sought to increase their margin of victory at the top of the standings by 10 points.
However, Mikel Arteta's team was held to a scoreless draw as they were unable to overcome Newcastle United's tenacious defense.
Arsenal got the game going quickly as usual, and they appeared to be a serious threat early on.
In addition, Gabriel Magalhaes' header after a superb cross from Martin Odegaard flashed wide. Martin Odegaard had a half-chance to score but was unable to direct his volley on goal.
As the game progressed, Newcastle had a wonderful chance to go in front through Joelinton, but the Brazilian was unable to hit the target with his header.
Xhaka was seen sending a message to the Arsenal supporters after the game, despite the Gunners' frustrating evening.
After seeing his team lose two points at the Emirates Stadium last night, Xhaka was seen telling the Arsenal supporters to remain positive.
Over the past year, the 30-year-old has reestablished his relationship with the fans and developed into a fan favorite.
Despite the fact that there was no goal in last night's game, the second half was jam-packed with action and even some controversy.
Dan Burn appeared to pull Gabriel's shirt in the box, but referee Andy Madley did not call a foul, leaving Arsenal feeling vindicated.
At the very end of the game, when Granit Xhaka's delivery deflected off Jacob Murphy's arm, there were yet more appeals. But Madley disregarded appeals once more, and neither decision was overturned by VAR.
