Arsenal, who did not win in the last three matches he played in the league, owes his goalkeeper David Raya in the first half as he tackled the attempts of Bruno Gimara, Teno Levermonto, Harvey Barnes and Dan Bern in light of the dominance of the visiting team.
It seems that the coach’s instructions between the two halves woke the Arsenal players from their slumber, and with a match outside their stadium against Southampton waiting for them next week, the team is approaching the second place for the third time in a row.
Arsenal has 71 points from 37 games, and the sixth -placed Manchester City can catch him with two games.
Newcastle remains in third place with 66 points, but only one point separates him from Nutingham Forest, who is ranked seventh, as the battle continues on the other three places qualifying for the Champions League until next Sunday.
The Arsenal season was a lot, but his defeat in the League Cup final at the hands of Newcastle, and a flimsy attempt to chase Liverpool in the title race, and out by the Champions League final against Paris Saint -Germain, all of this means that their season has ended.
The team entered the match today, Sunday, knowing that the victory will ensure that it will occupy one of the first five places and qualify for the Champions League.
But on the other hand, one victory in the last six league matches raised fears of the end of the season in sixth place after the season was a race between two horses in most of its periods.
The absence of the brilliant Newcastle striker Alexander Isak due to a thigh injury was a strong boost for Arsenal, but the team seemed tense given that he did not score any goal in three games against coach Eddie Hao’s team this season.
