Arsenal reverses Newcastle 2-1! Three players perform well, new midfielder cores are on the list

Football

Gabriel's final win in stoppage time helped Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-1 away, ranking second in the Premier League with 13 points, only two points behind the league leader Liverpool. Arsenal did not gain any advantage in recent encounters with the Magpies. Newcastle has won three consecutive games at St James Park, including two Premier League games. Therefore, this reversal victory is of great significance to the entire Arsenal team.

In this 2-1 reversal, Arsenal has three players playing very critically

1. Gabriel

For Gabriel, he seems to be at the center of all events in this game. During Newcastle's first goal, he was pushed behind his back. His response was to give goalkeeper Walter Mad an elbow in the face, but the referee did not determine it as a foul and VAR did not check.

On the defensive end, Gabriel completed 9 clearances, 3 tackles, 3 interceptions and 2 blocked shots. He saved his best performance to the end, receiving an intra-rotation corner kick from Odge, hammering Pope to guard the goal, winning the game 2-1 for Arsenal.

2.Rice

In terms of defensive midfield performance, Rice has handed over an excellent job. Rice’s energy in the defensive transition ensures that Newcastle’s counterattack poses little threat. While in possession, Rice keeps the ball moving quickly and pushes forward. Unlike Zubimendi, he tries to bring Saka into the game faster. The England international's forward run led to him winning the corner that led to Arsenal's equalization. Rice handled a short corner and when the ball returned to his feet he made a cross at an attractive height to help Merino header to equalize the score for Arsenal.

3. Eze

Eze should feel that it is unfortunate that he did not score in the first half. The new player in the summer had two good shots, both saved by Pope. In the second half, Eze showed off the other side of his game, holding the ball strongly near the midfield line, although almost lying on the ground. He then consciously continued the attack and entered the penalty area to receive a cross from Trosad.

For Arsenal fans, they are already looking forward to Eze and Odge starting at the same time. With the support of the midfield dual cores, Arsenal's offense will no longer be "constipated"!
