Newcastle 2-0 Arsenal: Magpies has Wembley date with Destiny in the Carabao Cup final

On By Littum

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya made sure Newcastle’s fans could start a party that lasted most of the second half when he inexplicably played Declan Rice in trouble when he was shaded by Fabian Schar after 52 minutes when the ball ended at his feet off Anthony Gordon in a simple finish.

When St James’ Park got lost, Bruno Guimaraes took a black and white scarf thrown on to the side of the field and held it over his head, while goal scorer Gordon grabbed another before mimicking the celebrating fans by swirling it around his Head in Elation.

In all the neckline in practice for Wembley, Newcastle’s fans reserved a special place for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who complained about the ball used in the Carabao Cup after their first leg loss.

“Mikel Arteta, it must be the ball,” became part of this soundtrack to victory as Newcastle’s players and staff made a lap of honor-even the normally low-key Howe-nor-pumping against Leazes than for celebration.

Newcastle’s X account Joined the funny and sent a picture of the ball with the words ‘The Culprit’, while some wondered if Gordon’s demand for the fight after his team should ‘remain humble’ was a small graving in Arsenal’s weekend celebration against City.

Shearer handed down his judgment of “X” and posted: “It was a proper performance man. Arsenal couldn’t live with the intensity. Better than those tonight in any position.”

He was not wrong.

For all the carnival, color and noise when heads, when heads are clear and calm back, know, howe and newcastle know the hard part stays. Can they finally cross the psychological barrier that has reduced Newcastle to as long?

They have been here before, as late as two years ago, but this was again an illustration of the excellent job that Howe has done since Since Since Since Since Second, Steve Bruce, with the team in 19th place and five points from security after 11 matches.

This is a huge option, but they have had opportunities before.

What they have is a world -class striker in Isaac, Gordon in irresistible form, and midfield pair of Sandro Tonali and Guimaraes capable of exercising full control of pages as good as Arsenal.

Gordon, perhaps with an ignorant reference to the message, which Arsenal was so eager to deliver to Manchester City on Sunday, said, “It’s important to stay humble now.”

However, Guimaraes was not in the mood to play expectations down and what Newcastle can achieve when he added, “Games like that and we can dream big. It would be great to have a trophy, it’s my dream to do this.”

However, the last word should go to the man behind it all, the manager, who has made Newcastle fans believe again.

Howe said, “It’s huge to get back to Wembley. The first performance that was a bit unexpected but with the club we want to be, we have to be there regularly, so it’s not a surprise.

“We are there on profits, our race has not been easy this year, we have been exposed to four Premier League teams, so we have made the hard yards.

“Hopefully we can learn from the last experience and improve our performance.”

Learn, end 56 successful-hungry years, and Howe will make himself a Geordie legend.
