    GOAL - Arsenal 0-1 Newcastle

    Anthony Elanga

    Newcastle's summer signing Anthony Elanga is on the scoresheet.

    Good passing move from the Toon and Sandro Tonali pulls the ball across. Elanga scuffs his shot and it goes above David Raya, who had probably made his move for a clear strike of the ball.
