Arsenal dominated the game from start to finish, had a plenty of opportunities to score more than four goals, but the Newcastle defense was able to deny several of them. In fact, Arsenal defeated Newcastle like a team that had just been promoted to the Premier League. I didn't think Arsenal would score as many as two goals in that game; I didn't think they would have an easy time beating Newcastle. Newcastle's current performance has shocked me even more because it isn't what they have been doing from the start of the season. Arsenal is playing really well right now, if they continue playing this way, I think they can achieve more this season.
After having a narrow win against Bournemouth, Manchester City take over the second place from Arsenal. This surprised me because I didn't think Manchester City would scored only one goal against a team that is currently in 14th place in the standings.
Arsenal again won a landslide victory in the Premier League, they really played very well at home and created a lot of chances. Perhaps it was difficult for them to play in a foreign stadium with Porto, because away they looked very boring, and at some point I even thought that Arteta was trying to keep a draw. But considering the results Arsenal achieved in their last games, it looked very strange. Now they have to win back at home, they definitely need a victory, and I want to believe that they will act in the return match with Porto, as yesterday they played with Newcastle.
