Arsenal snatched a thrilling 2-1 win over Newcastle United at St James' Park, coming from behind to secure a vital three points. This victory marked their first win in four visits to the stadium, showcasing their determination and resilience. Gabriel's stoppage-time header sealed the win, propelling Arsenal to second place in the Premier League table with 13 points from six matches.


Newcastle's goalkeeper Nick Pope made an impressive save in the early minutes of the game, diving brilliantly to deny Eberechi Eze's effort. This highlight showcased Pope's skill, but ultimately, his team's defensive efforts weren't enough to secure the win. Despite Pope's exceptional save, Arsenal's relentless pressure paid off in the end.


Newcastle took the lead in the 34th minute when Nick Woltemade rose highest to meet Sandro Tonali's cross and head the ball past David Raya. However, Arsenal equalized in the 84th minute through Mikel Merino's header from Declan Rice's delivery. The dramatic turn of events set the stage for Gabriel's match-winning header in the 96th minute, securing Arsenal's comeback victory.


The match was turning into an intense, back-and-forth affair. Aaron Ramsdale made a routine save from Malick Thiaw's header, while Martin Ødegaard's challenge on Viktor Gyökeres sparked controversy, but the referee spared him a penalty call. Arsenal's frustration grew as a swift move ended with Leandro Trossard's shot beating Nick Pope but hitting the post.


Eberechi Eze continued to probe Newcastle's defense from the edge of the box, but his efforts were thwarted. One shot was blocked by Sven Botman, and another was denied by Pope's athleticism. Eze's persistence was evident, but Newcastle's defense held firm, leaving Arsenal to search for the opening goal.




Newcastle broke through in the 35th minute, capitalizing on a short corner kick from Sandro Tonali. Nick Woltemade rose above Gabriel Magalhaes to head home the cross, giving Newcastle a 1-0 lead. The goal came after Arsenal needlessly conceded the corner, which ultimately proved costly.


At halftime, Mikel Arteta made a tactical substitution, bringing on William Saliba for Cristhian Mosquera. Arsenal continued their pursuit of an equalizer in the second half, with Eberechi Eze testing Newcastle's goalkeeper, Nick Pope, but his shot flew harmlessly over the bar. The Gunners remained determined to find the equalizing goal.




A beautiful passage of play led to Arsenal's equalizer. Martin Zubimendi's clever dink was headed by Jurrien Timber, but Nick Pope made a stunning save to deny the chance. However, Declan Rice's cross ultimately proved decisive, as Mikel Merino headed the ball in off the post, leveling the score at 1-1.




Newcastle's resolve was tested further when right-back Tino Livramento went off injured with about 15 minutes left to play, leaving Eddie Howe with defensive concerns. Despite this setback, the Magpies held firm until the equalizer, but their lead was short-lived.


Gabriel's Winner

In the 97th minute, Gabriel headed in Martin Ødegaard's corner, sparking wild celebrations among Arsenal's fans. The dramatic winner moved Arsenal to within two points of league leaders Liverpool, highlighting the team's determination and resilience in securing a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory.
