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.
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's victory and Newcastle's defeat will not surprise me because from the start I was very confident and hoped that Arsenal could beat Newcastle, which several times was very inconsistent, making my bets in the past lose several times when every bet on the Newcastle match and one side Arsenal was in the performance is very strong because Arteta has again found a strategy to maintain Arsenal's consistent performance and we can see that he has now managed to get 6 consecutive wins and always with a big score as if Arsenal is very strong in the Premier League at the moment even though they lost in the Champions League in the second leg 1st but that was not the end of Arsenal's struggle.
Arsenal are very lucky to get an easier match schedule this time before continuing the 2nd leg match Arsenal will only get easy opponents as they will come against Sheff Utd and also Brenford who both have a bad performance in the premier league which gives Arsenal the opportunity to get 6 points from the upcoming 2 matches.
I am also a little surprised that recently Pep Guardiola's troops have only been able to win with a small score against any club, whereas yesterday they had weak opponents but were only able to get 1 score, but I wonder if this has become part of Pep Guardiola's strategy to maintain the performance of the players players to stay awake for the next match in the Champions League.
