Isak’s Early Header Secures Newcastle’s Win Over Arsenal.
Alexander Isak’s first-half header proved decisive as Newcastle edged Arsenal 1-0 in a tightly contested Premier League match at St James’ Park. The Swedish forward found the net in the 12th minute, capitalising on a defensive lapse by the Gunners to nod home a precise cross from Anthony Gordon.
Arsenal began the match with intent but lost momentum after Isak’s goal, struggling to create clear chances against Newcastle’s solid defence. Despite Mikel Arteta’s tactical adjustments in the second half, Arsenal managed only one shot on target throughout the game, highlighting their difficulties in the final third.
This win lifts Newcastle to eighth place in the league, while Arsenal slip to fourth, with their position dependent on the outcome of tomorrow’s fixtures.
