Carroll, who along with teammate Kevin Nolan had been the subject of lurid newspaper allegations about his private life hours before kick-off, rose superbly to claim the only goal of the game moments before the interval.
That was enough to ensure Newcastle claimed a third successive league victory, while Arsenal's title challenge was dented by their second defeat in six home league games.
"It was a big disappointment because our performance was not good enough. But I think we were unlucky because they had one shot on target and we lost 1-0," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.
