Fans were not pleased with Kai Havertz's performance in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final between Newcastle United and Arsenal on Tuesday (January 7). The sides clashed at the Emirates Stadium as the Magpies secured a 2-0 victory to inch closer to the final, set to be played at Wembley Stadium on March 16.
Apart from the recent loss, Arsenal’s form in the Carabao Cup has been nothing short of impressive. Prior to the game against Newcastle, the Gunners thumped every side they were paired with in the competition.
An end-to-end affair from both sides saw Newcastle take the lead in the 38th minute. The Magpies opened the scoring through Alexander Isak. Sven Botman won the header from Dúbravka’s long free-kick, and Jacob Murphy teed up Isak for the talismanic striker to score.
