“Hilarious Moment for all Newcastle Fans”- Newcastle look back at ‘uncontroversial’ win over Arsenal after a visit to St James’ Park Mikel….
Newcastle United’s Winning Habit Against Arsenal Continues
Newcastle United has made a habit of defeating Arsenal at home, securing a 1-0 victory on Saturday and snapping a five-match winless streak in the Premier League.
This significant win came against a formidable opponent with title aspirations. The lone goal was scored by Alexander Isak, who headed home a brilliant cross from Anthony Gordon.
Eddie Howe’s side played impressively, showcasing the qualities that helped them qualify for the Champions League, and there was no controversy surrounding this victory, unlike last season’s encounter at St James’ Park.
On November 2, 2024, Newcastle again defeated Arsenal 1-0, mirroring the result from November 4, 2023. While this latest win was straightforward, last year’s match was marked by controversy.
In that game, Anthony Gordon also scored the only goal, but VAR reviewed multiple potential reasons for disallowing it—questions of whether the ball had gone out, a possible foul, and offside concerns. Ultimately, VAR upheld the goal, much to the frustration of Arsenal fans and manager Mikel Arteta, who called it a “disgrace.”
On the anniversary of that match, Newcastle’s social media team took the opportunity to poke fun at Arsenal, posting a video of Gordon’s goal with the caption: “On this day last year, @anthonygordon was on target in a fairly uncontroversial victory at St. James’ Park!”
Arteta’s frustration from last season’s game was palpable, but this time around, he had little cause for complaint. There was even a humorous moment when an Anthony Gordon cross grazed the corner flag but stayed in play.
Despite the lack of controversy in Saturday’s match, Arteta still expressed his displeasure, exchanging words with Newcastle’s Jason Tindall during the game. In his post-match press conference, he made a remark that, while meant as a compliment, seemed like a dig at Newcastle, stating that the Magpies are “really good at what they want to do.”
Newcastle effectively neutralized Arsenal’s game plan, continuing the Gunners’ disappointing record at St James’ Park, where they have lost three of their last four visits.
