Arsenal today Saturday lost 1-0 to Newcastle for the second game in a row.
Newcastle United played host to Arsenal in Saturday’s early Premier League kick off.
The first big chance at goal fell to Bukayo Saka who blasted a shot just on the wrong side of the post after 11 minutes.
But immediately Newcastle were back up our end and their move ended with Anthony Godon putting in an excellent cross for Alexander Isak to leap high behind Gabriel, and Raya could only watch as the ball flew into the top corner of Raya’s net after just 12 minutes in the first-half.
Newcastle are yet to drop a point from a winning position this season.
After half an hour Saka put a brilliant cross right in front of their goal but Schar got the first touch and managed to get it over the bar.
Schar would later be booked for kicking the ball away a few minutes before half time.
The second half started lively with both sides looking refreshed and keen to score but there were more bookings than real scoring chances.
After an hour Martinelli and Merino make way for Zinchenko and Ethan Nwaneri coming on at last, and immediately drew a cynical foul from Willock which resulted in yet another yellow card.
Nwaneri had his first shot but it was way over the target.
Newcastle were all in defence and Nwaneri made another wild attempt from distance.
