Newcastle United had one other a type of irritating days in entrance of purpose which finally price them factors as Arsenal stole a 1-0 win to seal their runners up spot.
The Magpies might and certain ought to have been out of sight within the first half had been it not for some wonderful goalkeeping from David Raya.
Nick Pope made a shocking protected of his personal to maintain issues degree within the first half too, nevertheless it was Raya who made the largest distinction.
We might like to have seen the half time group talks to identify the distinction as Arsenal got here out revitalised for the second half and Newcastle got here out like they merely did not care and performed that method for a lot of the second half.
Declan Rice’s chic strike from distance sealed Arsenal’s place as Premier League runners-up but once more
Anthony Gordon has had a season to neglect, failing to get wherever close to the degrees he performed eventually season, and right this moment he was at fault for Arsenal’s purpose.
Taking a contact to chop inside inside his personal half, Gordon clearly forgot he was carrying concrete boots, and his contact inside went straight to Arsenal, who launched an assault ahead, leading to a wonderfully hit 25-yard effort from Declan Rice to attain the one purpose of the sport after 55 minutes.
Arsenal saved pushing however could not discover a method via, whereas it took Newcastle one other quarter-hour and quite a few substitutions simply to get a foothold again within the recreation.
Why put a striker on and play him on the wing whereas enjoying a winger via the center? Assist us out right here!
In a really baffling name, Eddie Howe hooked Callum Wilson for Will Osula, up to now so good, however then put Osula large proper and performed Gordon via the center. Clearly, Howe would not see Osula as a striker, however absolutely he is extra of 1 than Anthony Gordon is, particularly this model of Gordon.
Newcastle should win subsequent weekend to safe their place within the Champions League with out having to depend on anyone else. It may very well be a a lot trickier process than we thought, given the shape Everton are in recently.
Absolutely we won’t bottle it proper on the finish of the season, can we? CAN WE?
