Gunners Secure Comfortable Win Over Newcastle United, Extend Unanswered Goals Record
In a remarkable display of dominance, Arsenal etched their name into Premier League history during a commanding victory over Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta’s side showcased their attacking prowess as they surged to a 4-1 triumph, further solidifying their credentials as title contenders.
The Gunners wasted no time asserting their dominance, seizing a 2-0 halftime lead courtesy of a goal from Kai Havertz and an own goal by Sven Botman. In the second half, Arsenal continued their relentless assault, with Bukayo Saka’s stunning solo effort and Jakub Kiwior’s header extending their lead to 4-0.

According to TNT Sports, the Gunners have scored an astonishing 17 goals without conceding, marking their longest run of unanswered goals in the league’s annals. This extraordinary streak culminated with Joe Willock’s late consolation goal for Newcastle, ending Arsenal’s remarkable defensive shutout.
Prior to their encounter with Newcastle, Arsenal last conceded a Premier League goal during their victory over Liverpool at the onset of February. Since then, they have showcased their attacking prowess with resounding victories, scoring six against West Ham United, five against Burnley, and four against Newcastle.
Commentator Darren Fletcher highlighted another unprecedented feat achieved by Arsenal, as they became the first team in Premier League history to score two goals in seven successive halves of football.

With their sights set on further success, Arsenal will aim to maintain their fine form when they face Sheffield United in their upcoming fixture.
