In the early morning of January 8 (Vietnam time), Arsenal suffered a 0-2 defeat to Newcastle in the first leg of the 2024-2025 English League Cup semi-final.

Arsenal controlled the game throughout the first half but could not take advantage of clear opportunities. In the 30th minute, Gabriel Martinelli had a golden opportunity against goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, but his shot reached the post.

Then, in the 31st minute, Martin Odegaard could not score from a bounce in the penalty area, when his shot went over the bar.

Despite their dominance, Arsenal could not convert their chances into goals. Meanwhile, Newcastle are very calm and waiting for their chance. And then, they broke the deadlock in the 37th minute, when Alexander Isak scored the opening goal after a sharp counter-attack. Although Arsenal reacted to the previous collision between Isak and Odegaard, the referee still recognized the goal.

In the second half, Arsenal were still trying to find an equalizer, but the absence of Bukayo Saka and the poor form of strikers like Kai Havertz left them unable to do much more.

On the Newcastle side, they continued to successfully defend their advantage and in the 51st minute, Anthony Gordon's shot accurately increased the score to 2-0, almost extinguishing the home team's hopes. Arsenal's late-match efforts were hampered by Newcastle's solid defence, especially the brilliance of young defenders such as Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento.

In the end, Newcastle beat Arsenal with a score of 2-0. With this victory, Newcastle is facing a great opportunity to participate in the English League Cup final. The second leg of the semi-final will take place on January 5 at Newcastle. This defeat also marked the end of Arsenal's 13-match unbeaten streak.
