How Arsenal dropped points in Champions League race with defeat by Newcastle
Arsenal’s Champions League hopes fall apart in Newcastle defeat – 5 talking points
Arsenal’s dream fantasy about playing Champions League football next season was managed a devastating blow as they were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
Ben White’s own objective and a bounced back exertion from Bruno Guimaraes gave the home side a well known triumph in a game they completely ruled. The Gunners were not at the races by any stretch of the imagination and made close to nothing all through the hour and a half.
That is more a commendation of Eddie Howe’s side who were infinitely better, they were first to each ball, speedier in the press and eventually clinical before objective. It brought the shade down on an incredible season for the Magpies who presently go into next season loaded with hopefulness for a drive a lot further up the table.
Callum Wilson returned into the beginning XI and turned in a notable place ahead execution. It was his strain and stumbled into the front post that prompted White turning the ball past Aaron Ramsdale at full stretch in the final part.
It was then the Newcastle striker’s longing to beat the goalkeeper to the ball that saw the ball drop to the feet of Guimaraes who cleared the bounce back into the rear of the net to put the game past Arsenal. Ryan Fraser might have made it 3-0 in the perishing seconds of the match yet it was anything but an opportunity he was made to mourn as Newcastle finished off a paramount night on Tyneside easily.
