Arsenal suffered their first home defeat of the season as their Wembley hopes were left hanging by a thread following a 2-0 win for Newcastle in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
The Gunners had not been beaten at the Emirates Stadium since being stunned by Aston Villa last April, but were notably below par in Tuesday night’s huge tie as goals either side of half-time from the red-hot Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon secured a seventh consecutive win across all competitions for the soaring Magpies.
