At least today Newcastle has proven that they are able to hold Arsenal game without a single goal. And this was already a surprise for Arteta because he was unable to penetrate the Newcastle defense. I was quite amazed at what the Newcastle players showed. This once again proves that for the next game, Newcastle can have the potential for a Champions League ticket. It remains only to see the progress of Man City who must be more consistent in pressing Newcastle.
Newcastle is another team from the point it was sold to new owners, one of which is the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. I think the new owners have big plan for this club, hence we can see results starting from this season, they have proved themselves against all big names in EPL, they won against Chelsea and Tottenham, drew with Man City, Man United and now Arsenal, maybe Liverpool the only team that managed to beat them, so if they manage to keep on this performance, they will surely be in the CL next season.
