Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is making no apologies for his team\u2019s no-nonsense approach to winning football matches.<\/p>\n

The Magpies headed for Germany on Monday ahead of Tuesday night\u2019s Champions League clash with European big guns Borussia Dortmund, having muscled their way past Premier League rivals Arsenal on Saturday evening to add another significant scalp to their season\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n

Gunners manager Mikel Arteta was incandescent in the wake of the 1-0 defeat at St James\u2019 Park, which was secured by Anthony Gordon\u2019s lone strike, but only after it survived \u2013 much to the Spaniard\u2019s disgust \u2013 three separate VAR checks, although his mood was not improved by the manner in which the Magpies blunted his attack.<\/p>\n

However Howe, whose team was on the end of side-swipes from Arteta and Manchester United counterpart Erik ten Hag last season, said: \u201cWe\u2019re not intentionally ruffling any feathers, we\u2019re just trying to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the players to stand up for each other, I want them to play competitive football. I want us to be strong in certain moments \u2013 which we have to be \u2013 and I think we did all of those things on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got no issue at all with how we played.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newcastle skipper Jamaal Lascelles was furious that Arsenal counterpart Jorginho, who had been involved in one of the game\u2019s flashpoints when he was caught off the ball by Bruno Guimaraes\u2019 flailing arm, refused to shake his hand after the final whistle.<\/p>\n

I enjoy doing whatever it takes to win a game<\/p>\n

Howe said: \u201cWe just play the game. Look, I think we play hard, we play the game in a really strong way because we want to win. But I think we play fair and we will do the same again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lascelles\u2019 defensive colleague Fabian Schar was equally unrepentant when asked if he enjoyed the nastier side of the game.<\/p>\n

The Switzerland international said: \u201cI enjoy doing whatever it takes to win a game. Sometimes, it is what is needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cA game can go different ways. We know what we need to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you play nice football and sometimes, like Saturday, you have games that are really tight and intense, a lot of fouls. There were things off the pitch too.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t really care, it\u2019s the three points that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victory over the Gunners came at a cost with left-back Dan Burn facing two months on the sidelines after landing on the base of his spine after an aerial challenge, while potential replacement Matt Targett could miss a month longer with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

That leaves Howe\u2019s resources in Germany severely depleted with wide-man Jacob Murphy, who needs surgery on a twice-dislocated shoulder, also having been added to a list of absentees which already included the suspended Sandro Tonali and the injured Sven Botman, Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, Javier Manquillo and Elliot Anderson.<\/p>\n

Newcastle already faced a stern of tests against a Dortmund side which won at St James\u2019 Park a fortnight ago, but is still smarting from Saturday\u2019s 4-0 home defeat by arch-rivals Bayern Munich, and while the degree of difficulty may have increased markedly, Schar is relishing the prospect of running out in front of a sell-out 81,000-plus crowd with his career seemingly reaching new highs by the week.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old said: \u201cIt\u2019s definitely the best time in my career, to be honest. You\u2019re playing in the best league, you\u2019re playing, for myself, where I feel really comfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels my second home. I\u2019ve been here now four or five years, so I feel really confident and obviously the city and the club. They gave me a lot and I just want to give something back.\u201d<\/p>\n
