Newcastle United vs Arsenal: Newcastle defeats Arsenal in a must win match for the Gunners 2-0 as Wilson & Bruno scored goals
Newcastle began brilliantly, thundered on by their fans in their last home game of the campaign. They were on the verge of scoring in the 37th minute through Allan Saint-Maximin, who cut in from the wing to the edge of the box and took a low shot which was taken care of by Aaron Ramsdale.
The sides exchanged half-chances all through a scoreless opening 45 minutes that saw Newcastle dominate the major portion of the first half and Arsenal registered more shots on the target.
Newcastle found their opener soon after the restart with the Gunners defender Ben White diverting the ball into his own net. It was Joelinton’s cross that was meant for Callum Wilson as he applied pressure on the defenders and while clearing the threat, White diverted the ball through the legs of Ramsdale and into the goal.
What a performance from this man. 👏@CallumWilson
