HIGHLIGHTS | Arsenal vs Newcastle United (2-0) | Premier League | Saka, Martinelli



Two beautifully crafted second-half goals fired us back to winning ways at home to Newcastle.

Bukayo Saka broke the deadlock after the interval, finishing smartly after he, Emile Smith Rowe and Nuno Tavares combined well to open up the space.

Ten minutes later substitute Gabriel Martinelli sealed the win, showing a deft touch to volley home Takehiro Tomiyasu’s cross just moments after coming on.

It was no more than we deserved for a dominant display – Mikel Arteta’s men enjoyed nearly 70 per cent of possession – but in truth the first half was played at a pedestrian pace in the main, with neither side really taking control of the game.

Saka had our first sight of goal, stretching to connect with a deep, searching pass from Sambi Lokonga, and shooting just wide.

Aaron Ramsdale pulled off a now customary, eye-catching save on the half hour, springing away high to his left to push a Jonjo Shelvey drive on to the crossbar and over.

That seemed to spark us into action at least, and we should have taken the lead moments later. Smith Rowe’s header from 10 yards out was parried by Martin Dubravka, the ball fell to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the far post, but the skipper’s snap shot hit the upright from close range.

Tavares, keeping his place at left back ahead of Kieran Tierney, was never afraid to shoot when the opportunity presented itself, but his radar was off, and only two of our 12 shots in the first half were on target.

Our first effort of the second half was on target, but Saka didn’t put enough power behind it, after doing so well to work his way into a shooting position in the box.

He made sure with his next effort though, and it was a wonderful team move that created the chance.

Arsenal were patiently moving the ball outside the area, drawing Newcastle out of position, before Emile Smith Rowe fed the ball into Tavares and the full back’s clever pass released Saka, who unerringly found the far corner with his left foot.

Saka was soon withdrawn but his replacement Gabriel Martinelli wasted no time in announcing his presence on the pitch, doubling our lead with a wonderful finish.

Takehiro Tomiyasu floated the ball in to the box and the Brazilian forward beautifully cushioned his volley over Dubravka into the net.

It was a breathtaking way for the youngster to score his first of the season, just 93 seconds after coming on.

We kept attacking, looking for the third, and racked up 23 shots by full-time, but in the end were content with a two-goal win, a sixth Premier League clean sheet of the season, and three points that keep us in fifth place.

    Watching the Man U- Arsenal game, and I know we (Arsenal) are going to lose! Arsenal lose games with stupid schoolboy plays!!! Why f around with the ball in the box; it’s as if the entire team is made up of retards!!! They can do a plan B when playing from the back doesn’t work!!! This is a very weak Man U side yet they look like European Champs against us!!! Damn it ???

    Finally change that midfield. Play Elneny the engine ?!
    Centre Midfield has problems with transition like stupid Lokonga! ?

    Finally high possesion of ball and more shots ?

    But there is still work on tactical shape and more effectivness like stop wasting many great chances. ?

    Goals were nice but that's not all, whole game was not ideal.

    The best Players to suit the Arsenal Way, of "Positive Possession Retention", for any position, the player should be able to:

    1. Be composed under pressure, in possession, anywhere on the pitch.

    2. Play through balls, at any moment the opportunities present themselves, from anywhere on the pitch.

    3. Clinically finish, if he ends up at the end of any other teammates' through ball, from anywhere on the pitch.

    Any other abilities will be bonuses, but this should be the minimum standard for all our players, moving forward. From the academy to the senior team.
