Newcastle United secured their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal. Manager Eddie Howe revealed the team's strategic focus on pressuring Arsenal's central defenders, William Saliba and Gabriel.
Eddie Howe has revealed that Newcastle United deliberately targeted Arsenal 's central defenders, William Saliba and Gabriel , during their 2-0 victory over the Gunners in the Carabao Cup semi-final. This victory secured Newcastle's spot in the final at Wembley Stadium on March 16th, where they will face either Liverpool or Tottenham. Both Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon scored goals for Newcastle, while Alexander Isak put in another strong performance against Arsenal 's central defenders.
Howe, who is pleased with his team's performance, emphasized their focused preparation against Arsenal. He commended Fabian Schar for his efforts in containing Declan Rice's midfield influence. Howe explained the team's tactical approach, stating their need for greater height and solidity in defense. This led to strategic changes in the lineup, including playing Gordon in a more central role to apply pressure on Saliba and Gabriel. This pressure proved effective, disrupting Arsenal's counter-attacking strategy. Both Howe and Gordon highlighted the importance of teamwork and tactical discipline in securing the victory. Howe added that the team's experience from last year's Champions League campaign helped them adapt to the quick turnaround between matches
