The Magpies did something that no other Premier League club has done and won a point from a four-goal deficit.Things started badly for Alan Pardews side as Theo Walcott struck inside the first minute after Andrey Arshavin sent him through.Two minutes later, Johan Djourou headed in an Arshavin free-kick to double their advantage before Newcastle had got going.Robin Van Persie added his first in the 10th minute when he guided his shot past Steven Harper.The striker then ghosted between Mike Williamson and Fabricio Coloccini to make it 4-0 just 26 minutes into the match.Things started to change for Newcastle after the break, though.Centre-back Djourou limped off after 48 minutes while Abou Diaby was sent off for putting his hand on Joey Bartons neck and pushing him to the floor. The home side reduced the deficit when Laurent Koscielny brought down Leon Best in the box and Barton converted the penalty.Best made it 4-2 and gave Newcastle hope when he shot beyond Szczesny.A second penalty from Barton, after another Koscielny foul, made the comeback even closer with seven minutes of the match to play.Theo Walcott opened the scoring for Arsenal2

Then Cheick Tiote scored that goal to make it 4-4 and send the Newcastle fans, those who did not leave at half-time, wild.Tiote smashed the ball into the bottom corner after Arsenal failed to clear a free-kick.No team before, or since, has overturned a four goal deficit to get a point from a match.Newcastle: Harper, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Williamson, Simpson, Nolan, Barton, Gutierrez, Tiote, Lovenkrands, Best.Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Diaby, Fabregas, Walcott, Wilshere, Arshavin, Van Persie.


Newcastle United's current longest serving player by some stretch, Steve Harper moved to Newcastle United from non-league Seaham Red Star as an 18-year-old way back in July 1993. However it took more than five years for his first team debut to come in November 1998, as the Magpies faced Wimbledon in the Premier League.


It is eight years to the day that Newcastle United produced one of the best comebacks in Premier League history. They were 4-0 down at home to Arsenal, on February 5, 2011, and did not look like getting back into the match against the title hopefuls.
