Arsenal player ratings vs Newcastle as Saliba and Gabriel taught lesson and two others poor

Arsenal were resoundingly knocked out of the League Cup at the semi-final stage after a comfortable win on the night for Newcastle.

Alexander Isak saw an early goal ruled out for the tightest of offside calls after a quick turnover. However he would get the chance to score again soon after, and despite hitting the post, Jacob Murphy followed in to score and give the home side the lead.

David Raya would then gift the home side their pathway to Wembley, passing the ball loosely only for a turnover of possession to see the ball land at Anthony Gordon’s feet who gratefully scored.

David Raya – Very little the Spaniard could do about the goal with the shot rebounding off the upright and into the path of Murphy. However he was most certainly at fault for the second, gifting the ball to Newcastle and Gordon scored. 4

Jurrien Timber – Seemed shaken in some moments, running he ball out of play multiple times in the first half. Sadly could do little more in the second. 5
