"I’m happy I can come on and make a big impact like that.
“Yeah, I’m an Arsenal player so it does make it a bit sweeter but I’m happy to come here [to Newcastle United] and do my job and come on the pitch to make an impact like the manager told me to do.
"He [Steve Bruce] told me to come on, run around and try and score and that I need to get in the box and score goals, which is what I love to do.
"I was happy I could help the team today.
