Declan Rice’s impressive individual goal took second place in the Premier League for Arsenal, as they beat Newcastle United by 1-0.
Newcastle entered the game after hitting the Arsenal three times this season, included in the EFL Glory Cup, and it was they who had much better opportunities in the first half despite the lack of the talisman Alexander Isak due to a wit injury.
But the Magpies were denied by five savings from the first half of the excellent David Raya, and the Thunderbolt de Rice from the 10 -minute area in the second half was decisive.
Arsenal is assured of the Champions League football and will almost certainly end in second place. Newcastle still requires a victory over Everton on the last day of next Sunday to be sure to play at the same level of the European competition next season.
Arsenal against Newcastle United
Newcastle, despite allowing Arsenal to have the part of the Lion’s possession, was, with much, the most threatening team in the first half and would have taken the lead if they had not found Raya with a particularly Obdur mood.
Espanyol was almost the villain of the piece soon for Arsenal, as his authorization attempt was directed directly to Sandro Tonali, but he immediately redeemed himself, as he had to twice removed Bruno Guimaraes’ effort after a Wilson dismissal.
Raya was re -tested shortly after, although his savings from Tino Livamento after a Newcastle counter was simpler, this possibility followed by the best opportunity for the arsenal of the first half, while Nick Pope jumped in his near place to keep the Thomas Partey head from a corner.
Pope was to the maximum to save, and Raya encountered a large number of trends to tilt Harvey Barnes’s diverted strike around the stick instantly.
It was instantly required to re -perform heroics with another double savings, first keeping the head of Dan Burn’s header and the follow -up of Sven Botman.
The Raya exhibition of the reflexes of the first half was rewarded in style by Rice. The Arsenal improved much after the pause, and after Anthony Gordon surrendered to the left, Rice found the shot of Martin Odegaard with an exquisitely collapsed strike that tilted to the end.
Eddie Howe responded by making a package, reversing four at the back after starting with three central centers, presented Emil Krafth, Lewis Miley and William Osula.
His side was almost the victim of another long -range effort, this time of Ben White, which whistled closely, but the Magpies returned to the party in the closing stages.
Harvey Barnes exploded tall and wide after the net bond game on the area’s edge, and substitute Joe Willock was put at the end of a Mazy race. Despite late pressure, Newcastle did not find the goal of avoiding a defeat that guarantees that his last day of the season will be nervous.
Only two Manchester City wins have won from their last two games and a defeat from Arsenal to Southampton on the last day with a significant change in the difference in goal would he deny the second place in Arsenal. This calculation will be far from the avant -garde of Mikel Arteta’s head when the Arsenal ends the season, thinking about what it could have been.
