Newcastle 1-0 Arsenal: Anthony Gordon's second-half strike ends Gunners' unbeaten start to Premier League season

On Saturday Night Football, Arsenal lost 1-0 to Newcastle at St James' Park, which ruined their unbeaten season. This also resulted in them missing the opportunity of leveling points with the current Premier League leaders, Manchester City.

Anthony Gordon's contentious goal in the 64th minute was the deciding factor in a heated match between two top-four teams from last season, following a prolonged four-minute review by VAR.

Although there weren't any goals in the first half of the game, things got heated before halftime. Kai Havertz received a yellow card for his careless tackle on Sean Longstaff. Bruno Guimaraes also got lucky not to get sent off for using his forearm against Jorginho when the ball was not even in play.

During the second half, the game became calmer and even though Arsenal put on a lot of pressure towards the end, Newcastle managed to secure a significant victory. Gordon's goal was the first shot on target by Newcastle and it helped them move up to sixth place in the table. Additionally, it extended their unbeaten run to seven games. However, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, was very angry about the decision to allow the goal.

Arteta expressed his disappointment and shame in a conversation with Sky Sports. He stated that the situation was not acceptable and that everyone in the dressing room shared his sentiments. He added that they had received numerous messages of concern and dissatisfaction about the situation. Arteta was sorry about the ongoing embarrassment caused by the circumstances.

I am not feeling well. That's my current emotion. I feel extremely uncomfortable being associated with this situation. The present scenario is not up to the mark, and we shouldn't approve of it.

Arteta and Arsenal missed out on a chance to seize the opportunity of getting to the top of the Premier League table. This happened after their defeat, as Man City took the lead following their great win of 6-1 against Bournemouth. At present, Arsenal are in third place and lagging behind Tottenham, their rivals in north London, with a gap of two points. This distance will further increase if Tottenham manages to defeat Chelsea on Monday Night Football.

Newcastle's Hard-earned Victory

Following a messy start in the first 15 minutes, Arsenal, who were missing their vital playmaker Martin Odegaard due to injury, started to gain traction. Although they managed to earn a string of corner kicks, their only notable attempts at a goal were Jorginho's missed volley which ended up soaring over the net and William Saliba's header that went off course.

In the 29th minute, Callum Wilson had a chance to score for Newcastle when Dan Burns passed the ball to him, but he missed by shooting the ball over the crossbar. Newcastle had not created many opportunities to score prior to this moment.

The first half of the game was physically demanding but lacked good quality and had many rough tackles. One of these tackles caused the home fans to become extremely excited when Havertz lunged late and knocked Longstaff to the ground. This led to a chaotic situation on the field with many players getting involved and the referee, Stuart Atwell, struggling to restore order. Eventually, Havertz, Longstaff, and Gordon were all given yellow cards.

The Arsenal bench received an earful from an angry Jason Tindall, assistant of Newcastle, regarding Havertz's poorly timed tackle. Following this, Fabian Schar, another Newcastle player, was booked, causing displeasure among the Magpies fans.

Arsenal posed a danger to the opposition team just before the end of the first half. However, Nick Pope made a comfortable save from Gabriel Martinelli's strong shot.

Eddie Howe, the coach of Newcastle, chose to field the exact same team that played in the 2-2 draw against Wolves in the Premier League last weekend.

Mikel Arteta, the boss of Arsenal, decided to make adjustments to the squad that played in the previous victorious match against Sheffield United. He made three modifications to the starting lineup.

Gabriel Magalhaes, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Jorginho came in for Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Emile Smith Rowe as substitutes.

Martin Odegaard was unable to make it into the active players list for the match, even though he scored as a reserve in the loss against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday because he was not in optimal physical form.

At the beginning of the second half, Gordon excited the supporters at his team's stadium. He darted along the perimeter of Arsenal's penalty area, seeking to create an opening for a potential strike. However, he faced opposition and was unable to succeed.

The Gunners' performance was increasingly influenced by Declan Rice. He made an attempt to head the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately missed, just before Newcastle was able to score their first goal in the 64th minute.

Two players who came on as substitutes played crucial roles in the goal that was scored. Jacob Murphy took a shot that went wide, but Joe Willock was able to keep the ball in play. Willock then crossed the ball, which led to David Raya flapping at it. Joelinton was then able to head the ball down to Gordon, who was able to score the goal.

Afterwards, there was a significant hold-up lasting precisely four minutes and six seconds before the goal was endorsed. This was because VAR was examining a few key aspects of the goal, such as whether the ball had gone out of play preceding Willock's cross, whether Joelinton had committed a foul against Arsenal's Gabriel and if Gordon had breached the offside rule.

Newcastle received bad news when Murphy injured the same shoulder that had previously kept him out of games. As a result, Matt Ritchie came on to replace him.

The Gunners attempted to score a goal to even up the game, but their attacking line failed to deliver and did not create any more opportunities on a disappointing afternoon for the team from north London.

Arteta: Disgraceful And Embarrassing

In an interview with Sky Sports, Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal coach, expressed his admiration for his team's display and approach to the game. He believed that they did not deserve to lose since the match's outcome was due to evident and unmistakable choices. He went on to describe the circumstances as shameful and disagreeable, referring to them as a disgrace.

We have a lot on the line and we have dedicated countless hours to our cause. My responsibility is to serve as a representative for our football club and lead my team to success on the biggest stage. The tiniest of details can make a significant difference. I am ashamed and humiliated by our performance, as is everyone in our locker room. I have received numerous messages stating that our current situation is unacceptable, and I couldn't agree more.

I need to express that this is unacceptable at present.

I am feeling unsure about this situation. It seems like we are not making any progress and it's making me feel like we are wasting our time. I don't want to be reliant on others in this matter. It's already challenging enough to compete against this particular team and I cannot endure it. This cannot persist any longer as it's humiliating and there's a lot at stake. The repercussions of our inaction are significant.

Howe: A Good Goal To Me

During an interview with Sky Sports, Eddie Howe, the head coach of Newcastle, expressed his confusion about the situation. He stated that they are unable to get a clear understanding of the decision because they are not provided with any visual aids. As a result, he has no additional details other than what he observed during the game. In his opinion, it seemed like a valid goal.

The game was quite challenging, but the team managed to score a significant victory. I give full recognition to the players for their admirable performance today. It was a constant struggle, and not quite the match we envisioned in terms of play style from both sides. The competition in midfield played a significant role, and we had to work hard to keep up with it. Joelinton's contribution was noteworthy, and all three midfielders made valuable contributions to our success.

If you never give up, you're always in the competition. Although it wasn't the match we were anticipating, we must exhibit various aspects of our abilities to achieve victory and I believe our team currently possesses that capability.

Howe spoke about Anthony Gordon, who was named player of the match, saying that he is now familiar with the team's expectations. Gordon gained some experience towards the end of the previous season and returning from the successful Euros has helped boost his confidence, leading to an impressive performance this season. Additionally, he has shown that he can adapt and play in various positions.

"Newcastle Goal Rightfully Scored!"

According to Jamie Carragher, who works for Sky Sports, there are several possible reasons why Tottenham has lost its form in recent games. He speculates that it could be because the players are unhappy with the coach, or perhaps they are not all fully fit. Carragher also points out that playing in an empty stadium due to COVID-19 may be affecting the team's performance. While the exact cause of Tottenham's struggles is unknown, Carragher believes that the team's lack of consistent performance could cost them a spot in the top four of the Premier League.

The main issue is whether the ball exited the area or not. I personally do not believe that there was a violation, but it's challenging to discern if there was an offside infraction.

Many images show the ball near the line or individuals stating on social networks that the ball is not in, but the perspective from our camera does not provide a definitive answer.

I am pleased that the goal was still awarded, even though I had doubts at first. My initial concern was that it was an offside, as it appeared that there was only one Arsenal player positioned behind the two Newcastle players.

In my opinion, I do not believe that it should be considered a foul.
