Arsenal vs. Newcastle United result: Gunners cruise past hopeless Magpies
It took until the second half, but Arsenal's dominance on the ball ultimately paid off as the Gunners eased past an overmatched Newcastle side 3-0 on Monday.
A pair of goals by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and a 60th-minute strike by Bukayo Saka propelled Arsenal to victory after a tentative opening half brought flashbacks of last week's uninspiring scoreless draw with Crystal Palace. However, a motivated Arsenal side ensured that it would not be repeating that Palace letdown as the Gunners played a spirited second-half punctuated by the trio of goals.
It actually could've been worse for Newcastle, who allowed 20 shots (six on target) while ceding 67 percent possession to the hosts. Regardless, the result is the same as the Gunners continue their good form while the Magpies inch closer to the dreaded relegation zone.
