Arsenal defeated Newcastle 3-2. The most anticipated moment came when Viktor Gyökeres arrived. He joined Arsenal from Sporting for £64 million. He landed and headed straight to the pitch. Fans went wild with excitement.
In the 6th minute, Elanga scored the opening goal, giving Newcastle the lead. A flick from Havertz helped Merino score and level the match. Then, a low cross from Havertz led a Newcastle player to accidentally hit the ball into his own net. Arsenal took the lead.
Murphy scored again to bring Newcastle level. But then 15-year-old Max Dowman changed the game. He came on, made a smart run, and won a penalty. Ødegaard converted it, sealing the win for Arsenal.
Dowman is only 15, but plays like he’s 25. With Gyökeres joining, Arteta begins a bold new chapter.
