Newcastle United clashed heads with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier this evening as they looked to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Magpies made a solid start to the contest and managed to get to the half-time interval with a goalless scoreline.
Declan Rice scored the opening goal with a good strike in the 55th minute. Eddie Howe’s men failed to come up with a response and suffered a hard-fought 1-0 loss away from home.
