Newcastle and Arsenal played, this Saturday (3/2), at St. James Park, one of the best games of the season. After all, it was a rain of goals and, in the end, a crazy 4-4. Longstaff (two), Trippier and Harvey Barnes scored for Newcastle. The visitors’ goals came from Osho, Barkley, Morris, from the penalty spot, and Adebayo. Luton, newcomers to the Premier League, were winning 4-2, conceded the draw and, in this game with many opportunities (19 shots from Newcastle and 10 from Luton) and great saves from the goalkeepers, missed the last great chance, in the additions.
With an incredible 4-4, Newcastle are on 33 points, in ninth place, but at risk of losing their position to Chelsea. Luton Town, with this point, reaches 20 points. It leaves the relegation zone and jumps to 16th place. Play Everton (who drew with Tottenham) back to Z3.
First electric half
At home, Newcastle imposed themselves in the first minutes. And he opened the scoring at six, with Longstaff completing a cross from the right. Could this be a harbinger of a rout? They didn’t warn visitors. At 21, Osho scored a free kick taken from the right that Morris headed into the area and tied the game. However, two minutes later Longstaff scored his second goal of the game. He caught goalkeeper Kaminski after a shot from Gordon, who made a sensational move down the left. Newcastle’s number 10 took the counterattack from the left of his defense and took it to the area. But to close the excellent first half, Barkley left everything the same again. The number 6 grabbed a rebound, advanced and arrived in the area to complete the play. 2 to 2 very fair.
Insane second half
If the first half was excellent, the second half managed to be even better and more exciting. Luton Town surprised by scoring two goals and making it 4-2 before the 20th minute. The third came from a penalty taken by Morris. The curious fact is that the attacker took the penalty twice. In the first, he charged without the referee’s authorization. He hit again, just like the first, and ran to celebrate. Three minutes later, Adebayo expanded on a counterattack.
Newcastle snatch the draw
But there was no way Newcastle wanted to lose at home. All in attack, he left everything the same in the 22nd minute, with Trippier, on an excellent pass from Brazilian Bruno Guimarães, with a trivela. And, at 28, it was 4-4. Miley stole a ball in the middle of the attack and Barnes had the rest. He sent a bomb from outside the area.
