  • Newcastle took a giant stride towards the League Cup final as goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon earned a 2-0 semi-final, first-leg lead at Arsenal.

Newcastle United secured a significant advantage in their quest for the League Cup final by defeating Arsenal 1-0 in the first leg of the semi-final at the Emirates Stadium. The match's only goal came from a penalty kick, expertly converted by Alexander Isak in the 64th minute, following a foul by Arsenal's Granit Xhaka on Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes. Despite Arsenal's efforts to equalize, Newcastle's defense, led by goalkeeper Nick Pope, held firm, ensuring they take a slender lead into the second leg at St James' Park. This victory not only puts Newcastle in a strong position to reach their first League Cup final since 1976 but also highlights their defensive solidity and tactical discipline under manager Eddie Howe.
