During the first half, Arsenal continued to run out of ideas, with Newcastle’s defence doing a wonderful job to thwart allowing Arsenal to score. The Gunners were on the hunt for an equalising strike but ran into a resolute defence that kept them at bay for the most part.
As the game moved into the second half, Arsenal continued pushing for an equalizer. They launched attack after attack, but each and every one completely backfired. As the clock continued to tick down, the mood in the stadium turned anxious and then ominous. The supporters of the home side started to think that their boys were going to walk off the field without any points one more time.

Merino’s late strike serves to illustrate not only his value to the team, but his penchant for delivering in high-stakes moments.

His equalising goal away to Newcastle will undoubtedly help build up his confidence. It will boost morale throughout the organization as they all want to move forward and improve upon this outcome.
That draw ensures that Arsenal will take plenty of valuable points into their continuing pursuit of a first-place position in the Premier League table.
