Newcastle has managed to win the first meeting with Arsenal, in the valuable challenge for the semi-finals of the League Cup.
The Whites managed to win 0-2, in the first act of the semi-final, having a considerable advantage in the return challenge.
The challenge was quiet, with the balance being broken in the 37th minute. The Swedish striker Isak benefited from a precise pass and inside the area he did not forgive the locals to find the advantage goal. Mikel Arteta's supporters do not recover, as they are punished again at the beginning of the second half. Quick action from the right, with Isak again the protagonist with a powerful diagonal right-footed shot forces the Spanish keeper Raya to deflect the ball, but it was Gordon who took advantage, easily pushing the ball into the net.
Arsenal tried to react immediately. In the 57th minute, Haverts had a fairly clean chance to reopen the match, as he headed from close range and missed by not coordinating correctly.
Ultimately, Arsenal disappoints, with the League Cup final now further away than ever after this defeat.
"One foot in the final" and "Arsenal stunned", were some of the main headlines of the British tabloids, which commented on Newcastle's success against the "Gunners".
The Londoners will aim for qualification in the return match, which will be held on February 5. The other semi-final pair is Tottenham-Liverpool, with the first leg taking place on Wednesday.
