“It is only those who don’t understand football that doesn’t like him because it’s hard not to like this guy”- Premier League Legend Alan Shearer says ‘very clever’ Arsenal star was actually the one that helped Arsenal trash Newcastle United over the weekend but he’s not well recognised- Not Jorginho, Not Kiwior and not Declan Rice
Premier League legend Alan Shearer recently acknowledged the pivotal role played by an unheralded Arsenal player in their resounding victory over Newcastle United. Despite Arsenal’s midweek setback in the Champions League against Porto, their resolve shone through as they secured a convincing win at the Emirates Stadium.
In the aftermath of the match, Shearer, a respected pundit and former Newcastle United striker, heaped praise on Arsenal’s overall performance, specifically highlighting the exceptional display of young talent, Bukayo Saka. Saka’s remarkable form was evident as he notched his thirteenth goal of the season, extending his scoring streak to five consecutive Premier League games. Shearer commended Saka’s versatility and skill, labeling him as a “brilliant” player.
Saka’s goal against Newcastle showcased not only his technical prowess but also his tactical intelligence and ability to perform under pressure. Shearer emphasized Saka’s impact on the game, crediting him for causing significant problems for Newcastle’s defense with his agile footwork and strategic positioning, ultimately clinching the victory with a “very clever” finish inside the penalty area.
Arsenal’s dominant performance against Newcastle was a testament to their resilience and tactical acumen under manager Eddie Howe. The team’s relentless determination and cohesive gameplay left Newcastle struggling to keep up with their intensity and quality on the field.
This emphatic victory further solidified Arsenal’s position as serious contenders in the race for the Premier League title. With each match, Arsenal’s impressive goal-scoring record bolsters their chances of challenging for the coveted trophy, with goal difference potentially playing a crucial role in the final outcome.
Sitting just two points behind league leaders Liverpool, Arsenal find themselves in a favorable position, boasting a superior goal difference compared to their rivals. However, the title race remains tightly contested, with Manchester City also vying for the top spot despite a recent setback against Chelsea.
As the season approaches its climax, every point becomes crucial, with the destiny of the title hanging in the balance. Manchester City’s upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Arsenal will be decisive in shaping the outcome of the title race, as they aim to reclaim their status as English champions under the guidance of manager Pep Guardiola.
