Record-breaking goalscoring feats in Premier League away games did not translate into an evening of continental dominance for Arsenal on Wednesday, where a defensively-sound Porto unit did not allow the Gunners a single shot on target in their opening Champions League knockout tie, which was destined to end without the net bulging once.
However, naivety cost Mikel Arteta’s men dear in additional time, as rather than maintaining control of the ball and seeing out a respectable goalless draw, the young guns conceded possession and conceded to Galeno, who beat David Raya all ends up with a phenomenal curler into the corner.

Keeping their fans thoroughly entertained throughout February so far, Newcastle had already shared the spoils in an eight-goal Luton Town extravaganza and defeated Nottingham Forest in a 3-2 thriller before welcoming Bournemouth to St James’ Park for another riveting affair last weekend.
Twice the Cherries went ahead in the second 45 through Dominic Solanke and Antoine Semenyo, and twice Newcastle hit back through an Anthony Gordon penalty and the unlikeliest of sources in Matt Ritchie, whose injury-time intervention prolonged the Magpies’ unbeaten streak.

Three of Arsenal’s last four Premier League games versus Newcastle have seen the Gunners fail to breach the Magpies’ backline, and jellied legs on the hosts’ end will do their prospects of rectifying Wednesday’s meek attacking performance no good whatsoever.
Arsenal 2-1 Newcastle United, predicted by us.
