Arsenal were a bit unlucky in this match. It goes without saying that Arsenal's performance was poor. Arsenal players try to score. But the performance of Newcastle's defenders was outstanding. They successfully countered every attack from Arsenal's players. And Arsenal were able to launch several powerful and planned attacks. And in the 68th minute, Winger Gordon's goal gave Newcastle the lead. As Arsenal are playing for the title, they should perform more cautiously. If you lose points like this and if there is no consistency in performance, Arsenal will not be able to win the championship.
Arsenal needs to work on their performance because their loosing of points is get very serious if which they continue they may not even end to be among the first top four of the league. After the match Arsenal managed to defeat Manchester city they have been finding is difficult to win other big teams in premier league. Arsenal players are playing very well as a team but they are having problems when it comes to making of goals for sometime now. Arsenal next game is against Burnley a team at the bottom of the league, I hope this shouldn't be too difficult for them, this must be a game they need to gain a full point from.
Arsenal did not win this match. Well they actually played very well. But the problem is in the attack line which is unable to maximize every opportunity they get. I failed to make a prediction in this match. Because I hope Arsenal win even with a narrow score. But on the contrary, Newcastle managed to win and allowed their supporters to go home happy.
But even so, I'm not too surprised because Newcastle is indeed one of the strongest teams this season and last season. But what really surprised me was Liverpool who were held to a draw by Luton Town. I can't say anything about this fight. I definitely don't believe the result of this match. Maybe I was more disappointed because I bet pretty big on this one.
Today remains the Tottenham vs Chelsea match. Maybe Tottenham will be able to win this match and maybe even score more than 2 goals. Because Tottenham are clearly more consistent this season. And this time Tottenham also played as hosts. So I don't think there will be any surprises in this match.
Okay, I really do not understand how the goal was actually given, to be honest. Because first of all, it did look like the ball actually went over the line. Secondly, there was a big push on the Arsenal player right inside the box. I have no idea why the goal was still given. Even if the board did not go out of play, the push on the Arsenal player was pretty easy to see. I also agree that Arsenal was definitely unlucky in this match. they have played really well but still lost the match. But I also agree that as a club that is going for the title, they should perform better.
