Arsenal v Newcastle: Arsenal thrash Newcastle and confirm tripartite premiership
ANDl Arsenal It didn’t take them long to forget their Champions League defeat to Porto (1-0 in the first leg at Do Dragao) at the expense of poor Newcastle. And the fact is that, apart from the Champions League, their last matches in the Premier League are counted by victories: 0-6 against West Ham, 0-5 against Burnley… and now 4-1 against Newcastle. . The victory leaves them two points behind leaders Liverpool and just one behind Manchester City. This is the 2023/24 Premier League… with three teams.
Arteta’s start was very aggressive, with Rice and Saka having several chances for the first goal… but it came in the 18th minute. Saki’s corner kick was headed into the near post by Gabriel, Karius parried the shot… but Botman knocked the ball into his own net. Six minutes later the score became 2:0. Havertz sent a good pass into the goal from Martinelli.
Newcastle, who hardly bothered David Rye, miraculously survived the first half against a controlling Arsenal side that never stopped generating attacks. And although Isak showed some signs of rebellion at the beginning of the second half… Saka was responsible for neutralizing it. The England international and Arsenal star scored a superb goal, hitting Karius’s long post from the corner of the area.
This is Saka’s fifth day in a row in the Premier League… something that hasn’t happened for nine years. Then, in 2014-15. Olivier Giroud scored in six matches in a row.
Sentence, if necessary, was imposed on Kivior. The Polish defender converted the corner to the near post and scored a goal. Already in the 84th minute Willock the score is 4-1. The one that is honorable. It was a great goal. A triumph that unites Arsenal’s good moment in the Premier League: six wins in a row that helped them overcome their late-year slump… and with which they rejoined the championship lineup.
