During his press conference following the game, Mikel Arteta voiced his strong displeasure, especially with the winning goal. He angrily denied that the goal was legitimate and called the prize a disgrace.
One of the most thorough VAR assessments in Premier League history was prompted by the dispute surrounding the game-winning goal in Newcastle’s match against Arsenal. Four minutes and six seconds were spent by officials debating whether Anthony Gordon’s goal in the 64th minute was legitimate.
At St. James’ Park, Newcastle defeated Arsenal in a thrilling match, and Gordon scored from close range after Joe Willock’s cross. Despite the intense competition throughout the game, Gordon’s goal ended up making the difference.
Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, must now make tactical choices following his team’s second defeat in a row, snapping their 16-year winning streak.
The fact that Jesus and Odegaard were not present was crucial to the result. Arsenal’s effort was spurred on by Havertz’s challenge, but they were unable to take use of their superiority as they managed just one shot on goal the whole game.
Manchester City scored six goals that day, therefore Arteta needs to reconsider his team’s offensive tactics.
Kai Havertz came under heavy fire from Gary Neville for his “reckless” and “hazardous” attack on Sean Longstaff during Arsenal’s match against Newcastle. The Newcastle players protested Havertz’s challenge, and the commentary crew was shocked that he was given merely a yellow card.
Newcastle’s manager, Eddie Howe, masterminded yet another noteworthy triumph for his side. The home team successfully weathered the pressure from Arsenal in the second half, ending the Gunners’ winning start to the season. Newcastle’s supporters celebrated the victory, moving their team up to sixth position in the Premier League rankings, just four points behind Arsenal, even though Gordon’s goal may have been disputed on another time.
