Newcastle United 1-2 Arsenal: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Flop: Martin Dubravka

An afternoon to forget for Newcastle's first-choice

Arsenal, for all their attacking qualities, only fashioned two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes. They scored both chances.

As previously mentioned, Xhaka's strike was an excellent one and the Slovakian cannot be blamed for his failure to keep it out. With Özil's goal though, he'll be angry at himself for not getting his feet set in time to thwart the playmaker inside the box.

Granted, the ball was fizzed into the box with pace and eventually sat up nicely for him to strike. However, Dubravka's reactions were delayed and he didn't get a strong right-hand to the effort, instead watching it ricochet in.

If he makes that save and play continues, Newcastle earn a hard-fought point and this list is a completely different alternative.
