“I’m on my feet clapping for him since, he was simply amazing and remarkable in yesterday’s Arsenal win”- Arsenal icon Patrick Vierra confessed he couldn’t resist stopping applauding sensational Arsenal star after what he saw in him yesterday. Player Not Jorginho, Kiwior, or Havertz
Arsenal’s response to their midweek Champions League defeat to Porto was emphatic as they dominated a lackluster Newcastle United side at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.
Despite Newcastle’s disappointing display, Alan Shearer couldn’t help but acknowledge Arsenal’s prowess, particularly singling out Bukayo Saka for praise. The 22-year-old continued his impressive form by scoring for Arsenal for the fifth consecutive game, taking his season tally to 13 goals. Shearer lauded Saka as a ‘great’ player, highlighting his ability to trouble Newcastle’s defense and his ‘very clever’ goal that showcased exceptional skill in the penalty area.
However, Newcastle’s woes extended beyond Saka’s brilliance, as they struggled to match the intensity set by Arsenal from the outset. Eddie Howe’s men appeared lethargic, unable to contend with Arsenal’s energy on the pitch.
Arsenal’s convincing victory saw them score four goals in the Premier League, sending a resounding message that they remain contenders in the title race. Shearer noted Arsenal’s fluid passing and acknowledged their dominance throughout the match, despite the disappointment for Newcastle supporters.
With the Premier League title race heating up, Arsenal’s consistent goal-scoring form becomes increasingly significant. The London club currently boasts the best goal difference among the top three teams, with just two points separating them from league leaders Liverpool. The competition at the summit of the table is intense, with any slip-up potentially costly, as demonstrated by Manchester City’s recent defeat to Chelsea.
As Arsenal looks ahead to their upcoming fixtures, including clashes with Liverpool and Manchester City, their destiny in the title race rests on their ability to maintain their impressive form and capitalize on any opportunities that arise.
