Alexander Isak opened the scoring in the first half with a precise finish, capitalizing on Arsenal’s defensive lapse. The Swedish striker’s movement and sharpness proved too much for the Gunners’ backline to handle. Newcastle continued to press and control the tempo, displaying their newfound confidence under Eddie Howe.
The second half saw more of the same as Newcastle dictated the game. Anthony Gordon doubled their lead midway through the half with a brilliant solo effort, leaving Arsenal chasing shadows. The Gunners struggled to create meaningful chances, with Newcastle’s defense standing firm and effectively neutralizing Arsenal’s attacking threats.
