Nick Woltemade Recounts Altercation with Gabriel During Newcastle vs. Arsenal Match

Nick Woltemade has shared details about an incident involving Arsenal defender Gabriel during Newcastle's recent match against the Gunners at St. James' Park. Gabriel scored a late winner in the 96th minute, sealing Arsenal's comeback victory after Woltemade had initially scored for Newcastle in the first half.

In the 34th minute, Woltemade headed home a goal over Gabriel, who was left displeased by the referee's decision not to disallow the goal. Shortly after, Gabriel seemingly elbowed Woltemade in the face during a confrontation.

Woltemade, despite the challenge, stood tall and expressed his disapproval of such actions in the game. He declined Gabriel's post-incident apology and handshake, emphasizing the need for fair play and respect on the field.

The match ended with Arsenal securing a win, narrowing the gap at the top of the league table. This defeat marked another late heartbreak for Newcastle, prompting Woltemade to reflect on the team's need to improve their defensive strategies and ball possession to avoid similar outcomes in the future.
