Alexander Isak’s early goal handed Newcastle a hard-fought victory over Arsenal, who faltered at St James’ Park and dropped crucial points in their Premier League campaign.
Isak’s decisive header in the 12th minute came after Arsenal failed to clear a dangerous delivery from Anthony Gordon, who whipped a superb cross into the box. Arsenal initially showed promise in the opening minutes, but the goal shifted momentum, with the Gunners struggling to create chances and break through Newcastle’s tight defensive setup.
Mikel Arteta introduced second-half substitutions in an effort to add firepower, yet Arsenal managed just one shot on target throughout the game, unable to crack Newcastle’s resilience.
With this win, Newcastle climbed to eighth in the standings, while Arsenal remain in third. They could fall eight points behind league leaders Manchester City if Pep Guardiola’s side secures a victory over Bournemouth later in the day.
