In the early morning of May 19, the 37th round of the Premier League ushered in a key showdown. Arsenal, with a total value of 1.13 billion, was at home, facing Newcastle, with a total value of 630 million.
Although there is a considerable gap in the overall value of the two teams, Arsenal only led Newcastle by 3 points after the 36th round. Not only that, the Gunners lost all of them in the last three encounters between the two teams. Expanding the match range to 8 games, Arsenal also had a disadvantage in 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses.
In the last round of the league, Arsenal drew 2-2 with Liverpool, which had already won the championship. Not only did it not win in three rounds of the league, but the Gunners were also hard to win in the last five games. From a situation where there is still hope to compete for the championship, it has become a situation where they have to fight for the runner-up.
Newcastle has made great progress, with 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 9 rounds. The victory over Chelsea in the last round also allowed Newcastle to consolidate its third-ranked ranking.
Only 4 minutes into the game, Arsenal's defense had problems. Raya's pass was inexplicably given directly to Newcastle. Fortunately, facing Guimaraes's angry shot, Raya made up for the mistakes and made two consecutive pounces to resolve the danger.
Arsenal's goal depends on the tactics of set pieces. In the 10th minute, Saka took a corner kick, Thomas headed the ball to the front point, Pop took the air and saved this sure-fire goal.
Next, it's Raya's turn to perform. In just 3 minutes, Raya made three incredible saves.
In the 14th minute, Livramento's shot hit Thomas's foot and made a change of direction, and Raya completed the ultimate save with his fingertips. In the 16th minute, Newcastle received a corner kick, and Danburn's header was also rejected by Raya. Afterwards, Raya decisively stretched out her legs and blocked Newcastle's supplementary shot.
After the first 20 minutes of the attack, both teams took the initiative to slow down. In the last 25 minutes of the first half, the scene was quite dull. At the end of the half, the two teams exchanged a blank sheet. In the 55th minute, Arsenal suddenly exerted force in a relatively slow rhythm, Saka stole Gordon, Odgao passed the ball to the middle without going down, Rice scored the ball in one shot, and the Gunners took the lead. Neither team can complete the goal for the rest of the game. In the end, Arsenal, with a total value of 1.13 billion, defeated Newcastle 1-0, ending five games in all competitions.
After this game, Arsenal locked in the top three in one round ahead of schedule and won the Champions League tickets for next season. Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa have 66 points, ranking 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively, Manchester City ranked 6th in one game in less games, and Nottingham Forest ranked 7th with 65 points.
The last round of the Premier League is competing for five major dramas to attract the appetite and is worth looking forward to.
