Presume that the gooners haven't had a corner tonight?
Toon on great form - I'm guessing that injuries meant they had a slow start to the season because they look pretty solid. To think there was Howe sack talk not long ago - it just shows how quickly things can turn.

The lead up to that yellow shows the issue. Literally no Arsenal players anywhere near supporting.

Rat on rat crime there

Newcastle upturn is all on him. Motivated a lot of players. Unbelievable coaching to keep improving players and found all the answers within his squad.

Does Dubravka know he's allowed to pick up the ball

 

[fez]

Does this game have VAR?

 

[Bigpig]

Does this game have VAR?

It does

 

[Drukk]

Arsenal have been woeful upfront and it's flattered Newcastle really, worse case this should be 2-2.

 

[postbox]

It’s VAR plus* isn’t it?

*ref decision micd up

 

[Irish_Tom]

Not the strongest of subs for Newcastle…

 

[JamesH85]

Thought JL and Gordon may have gone off being on yellows. Surprised at Willock going off.

He never makes subs this early. Weird one.

 

[omnomnom]

Arsenal need a goal, they wont score 3 away.

I think that's a good assessment. Improving players is something we didn't see under ten Hag really. Howe has got more out of a lot of players from what I see. Gordon had a rough first half season but now is the sort of player Garnacho should be. Murphy looks decent. Willock and Hall seem solid and you have real physicality with the midfield 3 or 4. Probably need more depth than the Longstaffs, Almiron and Barnes but it's a very good base and they all graft. Would be great to see a trophy for them.
