At the opening of the 12th round of the English Championship, the Arsenal faced Newcastle this Saturday and won 2-0 at Emirates Stadium. With the victory, the team reaches 23 points and rises to fifth place in the Premier League.
You Gunners they were in control of possession and played more in the attacking field, but they struggled to find spaces in Newcastle’s defence. The first big opportunity came only from set pieces in the 21st minute of the initial stage. Odegaard took a free-kick from the edge of the area with precision, over the barrier, and Dubravka leapt to palm.
The visitors tried to come out more into the game in the sequence and almost went ahead in the 30’s, when Shelvey submitted strong from a distance, Ramsdale stretched to defend and the ball even hit the crossbar before leaving. Later, at 41, Arsenal had their main chance to open the scoring. Smith Rowe received a cross in the area, tried hard and Dubravka made a great save. Aubameyang took the leftover near the goal and submitted, but ended up hitting the post.
In the second half, the hosts increased the pressure and managed to take the lead in the 11th minute. In a nice triangulation from the left, Nuno Tavares gave a good pass to Saka, who crossed the ball and scored Arsenal’s first.
The principals gained encouragement with the opening of the scoreboard and expanded to 21, with Gabriel Martinelli. Two minutes after entering the field, the Brazilian received a shot in Tomiyasu’s area and hit the goalkeeper’s first shot to score another one for the Gunners.
With the disadvantage, Newcastle adopted a more offensive rhythm to sketch a reaction, while Arsenal started to take advantage of counterattacks to try to kill the game. However, the score was not changed and the home team left the field with the victory.
