Newcastle take a good option against Arsenal in the semi-finals first leg of the League Cup

23 shots for Arsenal, including only 3 on target

Isak, who had scored in his last Premier League matches, opened the scoring by striking from close range under the bar, following a ball deflected by Sven Botman and poorly controlled by Jacob Murphy (0-1, 37th). Then the former Real Sociedad player initiated Newcastle’s second achievement, by delivering a violent cross shot that David Raya pushed back on Anthony Gordon (0-2, 51st). Furthermore, Isak, impressive with his technical accuracy and mobility, initiated most of his team’s other actions, notably concluded with strikes above Joelinton (4th) and Tonali (16th).
