But : Isak (12e) for the Magpies
Big blow for the worse for Gunners.
Much less exciting than usual in recent weeks, Arsenal confirmed their decline this Saturday in Newcastle, beaten by Magpies quite superior in engagement (1-0). Eddie Howe's boys had a thunderous start to the match with intensity, and they only needed to spike once to take the three points. The only pawn of the game arrived through Alexander Isak, receiving a wonderful cross from Anthony Gordon, before placing an unstoppable helmet strike for David Raya (1-0, 12e).
An offensive inefficiency which raises questions
Behind, Arsenal generally dominated the debates, but the Gunners especially played a lot more handball than football, laying siege to the Newcastle camp but passing the ball from one side to the other rather than hitting. In added time, Bukayo Saka finally delivered a superb cross into the area where Declan Rice was waiting, who saw his header skim Nick Pope's post.
Know, the return of Martin Ødegaard…
