The Standard reviews Newcastle’s 1-0 win against Arsenal

Transcript

00:00But it's all over here at St James' Park and a really, really damaging defeat for Arsenal.

00:04A 1-0 defeat secured for Newcastle in the 12th minute when Alexander Isak scored a bullet header

00:11from Anthony Gordon's inch-perfect cross. I think the most concerning thing for Mikel Arteta is

00:16potentially not how his side remain five points off Premier League leaders Manchester City,

00:21who now have a game in hand of course and are still yet to play this weekend, but actually

00:24just how lacking fight I thought Arsenal were today. They look completely off the pace. Of

00:29course they dominated possession, they were always going to do that, but Newcastle were

00:34the dominant team in terms of being first to second balls and their front three of Joe Linton,

00:40Anthony Gordon and the goal scorer Isak were absolutely dangerous all afternoon, whereas

00:45so few of Arsenal's players were. Disappointing day for them.

00:491-0 defeat and definitely a deserved defeat.
