The Sweden international converted Anthony Gordon’s inviting 12th-minute cross with aplomb.Newcastle striker Alexander Isak dented Arsenal’s title hopes as his bullet header condemned them to a second Premier League defeat of the season.
Arsenal counterpart Mikel Arteta will have been happy with much of what he saw ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan, but a lack of incision and pace in his team’s play ultimately cost them dearly. Gordon, lining up on the right of the front three rather than his preferred left, crossed first time when presented with the opportunity to do so and Isak rose between central defenders William Saliba and Gabriel to head firmly past Raya.
Schar and Hall combined to block Merino’s shot after Saliba had headed down the resulting 27th-minute corner with the temperature in an already competitive encounter rising all the time.
