With all Arsenal fans expecting a difficult day up in the North-East, they were not disappointed, but the Gunners had to fight tooth and nail and fully deserved to come away with a precious three points that left us clear of our rivals back in third with just three games remaining.
The first goal from Martin Odegaard was a beatifully-place cracker into the bottom corner out of pope’s reach, and the second was due to the brilliance of Martinelli who waltzed through the Toon defenders to smash the ball into the box and practically forcing the own goal. Brilliant game. Brilliant result….

See how brilliant Tierney was in intercepting the ball and the subsequent buildup of Martinelli’s goal to wramp up the 2-0 win against Newcastle.
If Arsenal finally fail to dethron City, it was MA’s failure in acknowledging the defense ability as a LEFT BACK. That cost us 6 valuable points in 3 games!!!!
You are so correct Lawrence.Surely Arteta will acknowledge his error of judgement by starting Tierney at LB against a very good Brighton side for whom Marsh has been in excellent form on the right wing.No disrespect to the technically talented Zinchenko, but clearly he is poor defensively and should be competing with Xhaka for a midfield place .
If Tierney had always played i tell you Martineli would have already reached 25+ goals this season is attacking roll has been reduced greatly due to having to track back more often than not due to Zinchenkos inverted roll, get a nutural left back in this team and see how Martineli tear apart teams.
Zinchenko can’t compete with Xhaka, he can’t defend like Xhaka,
It’s always good to give people chance to play. Can you see Kiwior, Juginho, Tierney and of course, Nelson. My regret is that Arteta realized this rather late when the title is no more on our hands. Congratulations to the boys.
