Arsenal press conference LIVE – Mikel Arteta on Newcastle, Martinelli injury, transfer regrets

Arsenal player ratings

Arsenal were resoundingly knocked out of the League Cup at the semi-final stage after a comfortable win on the night for Newcastle.

Alexander Isak saw an early goal ruled out for the tightest of offside calls after a quick turnover. However he would get the chance to score again soon after, and despite hitting the post, Jacob Murphy followed in to score and give the home side the lead.

David Raya would then gift the home side their pathway to Wembley, passing the ball loosely only for a turnover of possession to see the ball land at Anthony Gordon’s feet who gratefully scored.
