Newcastle shocked Arsenal with a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory at St. James’ Park this afternoon. Alexander Isak’s 12th-minute strike was the difference-maker in this hard-fought contest.
Following a recent 2-2 draw after a prior 2-1 win, doubts have been brewing among Arsenal fans about the club’s title hopes, particularly given their inconsistent second-half performances in recent games.
If results favor Liverpool and Manchester City this weekend, Arsenal could find themselves trailing by 7 and 8 points behind Liverpool and City, respectively.
