Arsenal lost to Newcastle (1-0), which represents a second defeat in three Premier League matches for Mikel Arteta’s team, already left behind by Manchester City.
Should the Gunners say goodbye to the title already? Arsenal suffered a second defeat in three Premier League matches on Saturday November 2 at Newcastle (1-0). Mikel Arteta’s team, beaten 2-0 at Bournemouth then held 2-2 by Liverpool, risks losing its 3rd place and finding itself eight lengths behind Manchester City.
The “Magpies” scored quickly on a perfect cross from Anthony Gordon headed by Alexander Isak between the two central defenders Gabriel and William Saliba (12th). This is the tenth goal conceded in the last six Premier League matches by Arsenal, whose defense is no longer as sovereign as last season.
Difficult week ahead
The Gunners, still without their usual captain Martin Odegaard, had possession of the ball for the majority of the match, without however being dangerous. They only had one of their attempts on target. On a cross from Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice was very close to saving a point in added time but his header went wide of the cage defended by Nick Pope (90th + 3).
A difficult trip awaits the Gunners next weekend at Chelsea, four days after a Champions League match in Milan against Inter.
Newcastle remained on five games without a win in the Premier League (two draws and three defeats), their worst run in more than two years.
