Newcastle vs Arsenal 1-0 “Isak shakes Arsenal” Full Match Details

It was too early for Arteta’s team. The Gunners did not show up for the opening match of the 10th round of the Premier League and ended up leaving St James’ Park empty-handed. Arsenal allowed Manchester City and Liverpool to extend their lead at the top. They fell asleep. And when they woke up they were thick, slow, and lacking ideas. The Londoners lived a nightmare two days after Halloween.

Isak was the life of the party. He disguised himself as Shearer to head in Gordon’s measured cross just before the quarter-hour mark. Impeccable. Unstoppable. The Swede found his reward for the intensity Newcastle United offered from the start. Howe’s men won another league game six games later. Merino could have challenged the home side’s advantage. He came close to equalizing after half an hour, snatching up a loose ball from a corner. With Pope beaten, Hall turned his back to block the Navarrese’s shot.

The momentum continued in the second half. As soon as play resumed, the Magpies tried their luck again. In the first move, Gordon drove down the right and found Willock inside the area, but the former Arsenal youth player’s header did not put Raya in too much trouble. Even less so for the Pope. The Londoners did not shoot on target throughout the second half. Newcastle accumulated men at the back, finding space to strike thanks to the speed of Isak, Gordon, and Joelinton, while the home defense kept the visitors’ attack at bay. Lacking spark, Arteta’s men pulled out all the stops in the final stretch, but Rice, who had the clearest chance in the third minute of added time, hooked a volley that went wide.
