Mikel Arteta said Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final did not reflect his team’s overall performance. Despite creating several chances, the Gunners were unable to convert, while Newcastle took full advantage with two clinical goals.
Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scored for the visitors, their precise finishing highlighting Arsenal’s struggles in front of goal. The loss leaves Arsenal’s hopes of reaching the final at Wembley in March looking uncertain.
