Controversial Newcastle winner ends Arsenal’s run
Anthony Gordon’s controversial second-half winner clinched Newcastle United a 1-0 win against Arsenal, whose unbeaten Premier League start was halted at St James’ Park.
Gordon’s close-range finish was confirmed as a goal after a triple VAR check and was all that separated the two sides in an attritional encounter of few chances.
The Gunners slipped to a first defeat in 11 league games this season, while victory for Newcastle was affirmation that it can continue to mix it with the big guns.
Arsenal remains third on the table, two points behind new leader Manchester City, with Newcastle four points adrift in sixth.
