On November 2, the clock struck Beijing and the 10th round of the 2024-2025 Premier League season kicked off with Arsenal traveling away to face Newcastle, who are also not to be underestimated. This match is not only a test for Arsenal on the road, but also a battle of life and death for their lead in the table.
As the whistle blew for the first half, Arsenal and Newcastle started a fierce battle of offense and defense, going back and forth without giving way to each other. But in a corner kick fight, Newcastle's Isaac with a powerful header, the first for the team to break the deadlock. This goal instantly put Arsenal in a difficult situation, and they had to go all out in the second half to try to reverse the unfavorable situation.
However, Arsenal's performance in the second half did not meet expectations. They were out of their depth in the attacking end, with rusty coordination and few chances on goal, and the whole second half was a heavy blow to their attacking line as they could not get anything out of it. Meanwhile, Newcastle showed solid defense and sharp counter-attacks, firmly holding the lead and not giving Arsenal any opportunity to take advantage.
As the game progressed, the Arsenal players were demoralized and they looked a bit tired. Although the coach kept adjusting the lineup to try to turn the game around, time was running out. In the end, Arsenal suffered a 0-1 defeat against Newcastle, and suffered a third consecutive game without a win.
