After Newcastle United’s victory over Arsenal, Eddie Howe dismisses Mikel Arteta’s assertion that the match was “irrelevant.” After Newcastle United’s 1-0

victory over Arsenal at St. James’ Park on Saturday, Eddie Howe decried Mikel Arteta’s post-match remarks regarding the team as “irrelevant.” Alexander Isak scored the sole goal of the match by heading home Anthony Gordon’s cross after only 12 minutes. This victory marked Newcastle’s return to the top half of the Premier League table, ending a five-game streak of defeat.The victory was also Howe’s third in four matches against Arsenal at St James’ Park. Arteta also believed that his team was “dragged” into Newcastle’s game. “We initiated the game with a strong performance; we were in control and appeared to be in good shape. However, the momentum was abruptly altered by an extraordinary cross and finish,” stated the Arsenal manager.

You are aware of the game they wish to play; it is evident. It is possible to become entangled in that type of game on an excessive basis, and we were not proficient enough. They deserve recognition for their efforts.We lacked a sense of purpose and a threat when we fell behind. During the transition, we permitted them to maintain attacks and awarded them 17 or 18 free kicks, which resulted in a consistent halt to the game. It is not a favourable result for us. “They are exceptionally adept at their preferred activities, and we were entangled in that today.”However, Howe dismissed Arteta’s comments during his press conference, stating, “It is irrelevant to me what anyone says, really, apart from my team, and that’s how we’ve always looked at it.” “We try to consistently win games by doing what we do, despite the constant external noise.” “We are aware that this season has been inconsistent; they have had both positive and negative moments.” I believe that our performance level has significantly improved over the past few games, and we have maintained this trend. “It is challenging to comprehend the viewpoint of another team.” I typically concentrate exclusively on our own performance and the position we must reach in order to secure victory in these types of games.


“The game was not particularly conducive to chance creation; neither team generated an abundance of goal opportunities. However, I believe that this is due to the quality of the teams and the difficulty of breaching their or our defensive lines. The game is won by a single moment of excellence, and in the Premier League, small margins are required to secure victory.
