The Peruvian made two fabulous goal-line saves to keep Newcastle in the game against Arsenal.

Solano: "I had once been captain before in a pre-season friendly against Wolves, but this was the first time in an official game and I was very proud.

"I was proud to captain the team, but I was more proud with the point. Everyone was a leader on the pitch.

"I just tried to block the first shot, and there was a deflection for the second.

"It came to me, and I gave it a flick over the crossbar. I was very fortunate in that situation."
