Arsenal have thus lost two away games in a row against Newcastle for the first time since 1996. Also at the same time last year, the team lost 0-1 at St. James’ Park.
Mikel Arteta’s team have now gone three league games without a win. Recently there was a loss to Bournemouth and a draw against Liverpool.
– It is an extremely weak Arsenal. I sit and wonder if I’ve ever seen the team under Arteta create so little offensively, and I don’t think so. There are big warning lights, said Viaplay expert Lars Tjærnås.
Alexander Isak headed in Saturday’s winning goal after twelve minutes. The Swede was hit by a great cross from Anthony Gordon.
It pleased Newcastle native Shay Given so much that he destroyed the table in it BBC’s studio. The former goalkeeper played a total of 463 games for the black and white striped.
Arsenal never managed to get back into the game and, with a maximum of bad luck, could be eight points behind league leaders Manchester City after the weekend’s round. It is a gap that may prove difficult to close. Erling Braut Haaland and City are not known for losing very many games during a season.
However, Arsenal can be happy to have captain Martin Ødegaard back shortly. He is close to a comeback from an injury that has kept him out of action for a month and a half.
The next game for Arsenal is away to Inter in the Champions League next week. Then a tough away meeting against Chelsea awaits in the league.
