Davide Santon admitted Newcastle United let slip a "big chance" after losing the lead three times in a last-gasp 4-3 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.

Despite the defeat, Santon insisted that Newcastle could take heart from their performance ahead of another tough away trip on Saturday, against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The Italian defender said: "It is a really sad day but now we have to think about the next game. "We are disappointed but I think we can still go into the next game against Arsenal with the mentality to win. "If we play the same as we did [against United] - especially in the first half - we can win the game. "We will go with a winning mentality and I think we can win the game."
