Newcastle vs Arsenal LIVE stream: Score and latest updates from Premier League clash as Martin Odegaard goal puts Gunners ahead

Arteta demands a ‘much better’ performance against Newcastle to keep the title race alive

Newcastle host Arsenal this afternoon in a top-flight game that will have repercussions for the Premier League title race and the battle for the top four.

Eddie Howe’s men will be hoping to hold onto third place and secure a return to European competition in next season’s Champions League. Three points against the Gunners would almost secure them a place in the top four and ease the pressure on the Magpies ahead of their last few games.

Arsenal, meanwhile, face another tough game as they look to continue their title hunt. Mikel Arteta’s side know their fate is out of their hands now that Manchester City are top of the table. Should City win all remaining games, they will be crowned champions again regardless of the Gunners’ results. However, Arteta’s men can increase the likelihood of City slipping if they increase the pressure on the reigning champions with wins.

The long-time leaders ended a four-game winless streak with a comfortable win over Chelsea on Tuesday night but will face much tougher opponents this afternoon.

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Arsenal (Odegaard, 14′)⚽️

14 minutes: Arsenal leads! They were under pressure but a free kick allows them to put men on the field. Dan Burn clears the first ball but the Gunners manage to recycle it.

Bukayo Saka can’t find a way into the penalty area from the right and sends it inside where the ball goes to Martin Odegaard.

Odegaard is about 20 meters away and lets fly with his left foot. The shot flies through a defender’s legs, meaning Nick Pope sees it late. He jumps to the left but can’t reach the ball as it nestles in the bottom corner!

12 mins: It took a few minutes before the decision not to award the penalty was made, which should have reassured Arsenal a bit. Newcastle have already had two or three big chances and look hungry for more.

Penalty for Newcastle!

The referee points to the point and VAR will look at it.

Newcastle 0-0 Arsenal

6 mins: Arsenal are looking to exert some control of the game through Jorginho, confident in possession. He orchestrates defense to send the ball to the right wing, where Bukayo Saka tries to weave around Dan Burn and is fouled in the process.

The home fans make a lot of noise. They like the aggressive start Newcastle have made.

Newcastle 0-0 Arsenal

2 min: off to the post office! Newcastle win the ball in the middle of the field and break out for their own half with a pass to Joe Willock on the left.

He charges down the line and lashes out over a nice cross that comes to Jacob Murphy.

Murphy has time and space to check his left foot and smoke a shot into the bottom corner, but his effort rattles into the woodwork and rebounds!

Kick-off: Newcastle 0-0 Arsenal

Arsenal get the ball rolling at St James’ Park. They work it down the left where Joelinton jumps up and wins the airball, but his down pitch returns the ball to the Gunners, who send it back to defense.

Thoughts before the game by Eddie Howe

“We have to be very good without the ball. Our performance will be in our defense, whether it’s pressing or defending, we have to be very good because they have great players and a really good way of playing.

“We’re at home, so we want to play in a certain way here, we want to involve the audience. The best way to do that is to show our intention to win whether we have possession or not.”
