Arsenal 1-0: Isak's Goal Wins, Premier League Highlights 2024-25
Another nail-biting Premier League game, folks! This time it was Arsenal squeaking out a 1-0 win against a stubborn Newcastle, thanks to a goal from the ever-reliable Alexander Isak. It was a game of few chances, but the tension was thick enough to slice with a butter knife.
Let's rewind to that moment of magic. Just before halftime, the Swedish striker Isak got a lucky bounce off the defender and was clean through on goal. He kept his cool, slotted it past Ramsdale, and sent the away fans into a frenzy. You could practically feel the ground shaking at St. James' Park.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for Newcastle, though. They had their chances in the second half, especially from the blistering pace of Allan Saint-Maximin. Arsenal's defense held strong, though, and ultimately, they were able to see out the win.
The win keeps Arsenal at the top of the table. They're now 5 points clear of Manchester City, who were surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw by Aston Villa.
