The final stage of the Premier League is getting hot, and the match between Arsenal and Newcastle United at home can be called "one inch of time and one inch of gold." The Gunners knew very well that this victory was not only about three points, but also a "passing certificate" leading to the Champions League.

The two sides fought back and forth in the first half and were indistinguishable. Arsenal's defense almost destroyed the Great Wall. Raya staged a "god-level remedy" at the beginning, saving Guimarães and Gordon's must-have goals, and built a wall of sighs with both hands. Newcastle's counterattack was like a sharp knife. Gordon shot from the left and Barnes shot from the long distance repeatedly created murderous intent. Fortunately, Raya was in a very brave state and did not let his opponent cross the line.

The gunman used the surprise Karafiori, and this substitution was immediately effective. In the 55th minute, Saka's steal in the frontcourt was like a hungry tiger pounced on food. Odegao's scalpel was directly passed and tear open the defense line. Rice received the ball outside the penalty area and adjusted slightly. He swung his thigh and shot out the "Flying Immortal from the Sky". The ball drew a strange arc and rushed straight into the dead corner! This world wave can be called "shocking", and instantly ignited the Emirates Stadium.

How could Newcastle surrender? Barnes and Willoc attacked one after another, and Dan Bourne even used "off-board moves" to smash people with the ball, but Arsenal united as one. Kiviol flew to block the gun hole, Havertz went on the battlefield with injuries to stabilize the morale of the army, and Jorginho made the appearance in stoppage time to spend time, and the Gunners fully interpreted the "Iron Barrel Formation".

In the end, Arsenal chewed this hard bone 1-0, and sat firmly in the second place with 71 points in 37 rounds, locking in the Champions League place in advance. Even though Newcastle is defeated, it is still honorable, and it still needs to fight to the last round to protect the five major battles. This victory confirms the truth that "the one who helps himself" - when Raya transforms into a "goal god" and Rice transforms into a "cannon", Arteta's team proves with passion: the road to glory is always a battle!
