Newcastle United One Step Closer to Ending 70-Year Trophy Drought After Stunning Victory Over Arsenal
Newcastle United took a major stride towards ending their 70-year trophy drought with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Magpies, whose last major piece of silverware was the 1955 FA Cup, produced a clinical display to build a two-goal advantage at the halfway stage of the tie, with the second leg to take place at St James' Park next month.
Alexander Isak, a player who has been heavily linked with the Gunners, shone brightest for the visitors as he opened the scoring with his 50th Newcastle goal before playing a big role in the second as his shot was parried into the path of Anthony Gordon to tap home.
In contrast, Arsenal were let down by their lack of a cutting edge for much of the contest as they appeared to give up their best chance of a much-needed trophy under Mikel Arteta.
There is still hope for the North London outfit, who have not won the League Cup since 1992-93, but they now require an almost-unprecedented turnaround against an in-form Newcastle side when the two teams reconvene in early February.
