After the long trip north to Newcastle, the last thing Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta would’ve wanted was to concede early.
But that was exactly what happened when a superb cross from the right-hand side from Anthony Gordon was met by a bullet header from Alexander Isak.
That strike was his 12th goal in 12 games at St. James’ Park, showing exactly how much the roar of the Newcastle crowd spurs him on.
It’s not just a recent thing either, as the Sweden international has been directly involved in 18 goals in his last 17 Premier League starts at home, with 16 goals and two assists.
It’s no wonder the home fans love him!
