Ben White scores own goal as Arsenal suffer 2-0 defeat to Newcastle (Highlights) 2021-2022

Arsenal's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are now out of their hands after they slumped to a deserved 2-0 defeat to an inspired Newcastle at St James' Park.

Eddie Howe's side dominated Arsenal in nearly every aspect, and ended the first half with two thirds of the possession, eight corners to their opponents' three and 87.5 per cent of their tackles won.

Newcastle were confident and aggressive, Arsenal looked sluggish and nervous throughout the opening period. Ramsdale, who slipped numerous times, flapped at a low cross and almost saw a clearance ricochet into his own goal, epitomised his side's struggles.

It seemed Arsenal conceded an own goal from Ben White after 56 minutes when Joelinton's low cross from the left was turned into the net at Ramsdale's near post.

The Magpies didn't have to wait long to make sure of their impressive win, and Wilson unsurprisingly played a crucial role, with Ramsdale's save at the Newcastle man's feet falling for Bruno Guimaraes, who struck the ball into the empty net.
