Second Premier League team to qualify for Champions League

Arsenal struggled to beat Newcastle.

Despite having home advantage, Arsenal were pressured by Newcastle after the opening whistle. A poor pass in the first minute almost cost Arsenal a goal, if not for David Raya's excellent save from Bruno Guimaraes' close-range shot.

In the first half, Newcastle continued to create significant pressure, with clear chances from Harvey Barnes and Dan Burn but all could not get past the home team's goalkeeper.

Arsenal were stuck in the first half, but in the second half, they took advantage of their chances to make a difference. In the 55th minute, Martin Odegaard passed the ball intelligently for Declan Rice to finish neatly into the far corner, scoring the only goal of the match.

The Gunners created a few more chances after that, with notable shots from Bukayo Saka and Ben White, but could not increase the gap. Meanwhile, Newcastle rose strongly in the final minutes. Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock had golden chances to equalize, but both finished inaccurately in decisive situations. With Alexander Isak absent, the "Magpies" attack became too lacking in sharpness.

Kai Havertz also returned and contributed to maintaining the game in the final minutes, helping Arsenal extend their impressive record against Newcastle by winning 12 of the last 13 encounters at home at Emirates Stadium.

While Arsenal are settled, Newcastle need to beat Everton in the final round to secure a place in the top 5 of the Premier League.
