Arsenal have done it again,flogging Newcastle 4:1 in a game that I thought was going to be very tough.Arsenal dominated the game through out the match,but in the late hours of the match,Joe Willock was able to break the deadlock of not scoring at Emirates stadium for about a decade.The game ended 4:1 in favour of Arsenal,and I believe this one must be a boost of confidence to the Gunners whom suffered defeat in Champions league against FC Porto.The gunners now seat one point behind City and two points behind Liverpool,so the three horse title race is still very active.
I knew Newcastle United was an easy match for Arsenal to win because Newcastle United have been struggling recently to win their matches in the Premier League. With this 4-1 against Newcastle United, the point difference between Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal remains the same, and the Premier League title race is still open for Manchester City or Arsenal to win if Liverpool fails to win it.
Arsenal won again with a fairly big score in their home match and this certainly adds to their confidence to face Porto later in the second leg of the UCL because Arsenal played very strongly when playing at home like their recent match in the EPL and Arsenal are still struggling hard to compete. with Man City and Liverpool at the top of the standings to get the EPL title.
Meanwhile, in UCL, Arsenal still has a 50/50 chances with Porto. If Arsenal is able to beat Porto by more than one goal, then Arsenal can qualify for the next round, but if Arsenal is defeated by Porto again, then Arsenal's struggle in UCL will only reach this round because Porto can't either underestimated because it is also a big team that always plays in the UCL.
