(Premier League 2022/2023): Highlights Arsenal - Newcastle

From Jim Fravel and Jim Beglin at the Emirates for Arsenal against Newcastle United in Week 19 of the Premier League season. A night under the lights that could be very illuminating for their respective prospects. A win for either would feel like a statement victory. They're biggest yet. It's first against third, only two defeats between them. Saka. And still he goes, and still he goes. Brilliant run. Saka trying to get on the end of it. Not a second from a man in black and white. Martinelli with good awareness. Yellow card. Bruno Guimaraes. Exhibition of Almirons. Impressive work rate without the ball. And then Callum Wilson has left the foot in there. It's a yellow card as well. Arsenal again trying to defend from the front. And Petya's given the free kick away. And he's going to be good. Odegaard trying to hit that space. And it went only narrowly well. As it's floated in from Odegaard, I'm looking at the keeper. And the keeper had given up on it, thinking that this might just creep in. I mean, he's between the two Newcastle centre-backs. Gabriel and it's a very, very good attempt. He's unlucky. Trippier. Another that's in the same boat, incidentally. He's gone his free-kick-Arsenal's way. And a ferocious reaction from Dan Byrne. The VAR is getting involved as well because of what followed that. And this is it. Yeah, well, I mean, the fact that Byrne was absolutely, completely convinced that Gabriel had somehow managed to kind of stop his run. Does he start searching for him? Yeah, I mean, look, you just wonder whether Byrne was pushing Gabriel to begin with. But Gabriel then was trying to bring him down. Six in one and half a dozen of the other. Correct. One might be enough today. But this is such a resilient Newcastle team. You're taught that Newcastle would have signed another six in this transfer window. Well, Saka has done brilliantly. So too in the end, Jo Linton. And the big man, once Dan Byrne had committed himself, the big man knew that this one had to be clean. Unlike the last attempt to deal with. Fourth quarter of the second half, what for Bernanko to do again. Martinelli with the flick and it is a fraction one. That's as close as they've come. Three minutes to go. Stuck out of foot. As I said, to start with, and just prior to that, Nketiah got it under control and Nick Pope does it continuously. Happy to use his legs. And a break on the edge of the penalty area. But Saka couldn't supply the spectacular. And it ends nil-nil. And it's those in black and white who celebrate. Newcastle end the Gunners' perfect home record.
