Carroll's towering header (2010/2011)
Andy Carroll's header on the stroke of half-time guided the Magpies towards an excellent 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium, their first away win at Arsenal for nine years.
Twelve days prior to the top-flight clash, United had exited the League Cup after a 4-0 hammering against the Gunners at St. James' Park.
However, Chris Hughton's men followed up their incredible 5-1 thrashing of local rivals Sunderland with an impressive three points in the capital to move into the Premier League's top five.
After Gunners goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański failed to deal with Joey Barton's dangerous free-kick, Carroll rose high above the Pole to nod the ball home.
The contest ended on a sour note as Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny received a straight red card for holding back United forward Nile Ranger.
