Arsenal defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes
Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given reckons Arsenal centre-backs William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes were scared of Newcastle's Alexander Isak during their 2-0 defeat. The Gunners were beaten at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals on Tuesday, January 7.
Despite dominating the first half, the Gunners were unable to make the most of their chances. They were punished by Isak in the 37th minute after the 25-year-old fired home off the bar. Anthony Gordon netted in the 51st minute to ensure the Magpies secured a vital 2-0 win.
Isak has been in phenomenal form this season, garnering 15 goals and four assists in 22 appearances across all competitions. He showed no signs of slowing down against the Gunners, giving Saliba and Gabriel a tough time with his dangerous runs.
