Arsenal defeated Newcastle thanks to Arteta's new tactics: what is the secret.

Arsenal shines again, thanks to Arteta's tactics

According to The Sun: Mikel Arteta's 'overturned eggs' tactics confused Newcastle and helped Arsenal close the gap to Liverpool by two points at the top of the Premier League table.

Arsenal had a chance to equalize in the final minutes of the game after Nic Voltemade struck the goal in the 34th minute.

However, Arteta's players did not lose hope and continued to attack the opponent's goal.

The reward came just six minutes before the end when Mikel Merino outplayed Nick Pope and leveled the score.

Newcastle could not hold on to the draw, as Arsenal's relentless pressure led to Gabriel Magalhaes' winning goal in the 96th minute.

Arsenal's strategy

Debate in the comments focused on Newcastle's formation: 3-4-3, 4-5-1, or 4-3-3?

In all these formations, the triangle in the center consisted of Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimaraes. Arteta tried to break this trio, and it was extremely wise.

Thanks to his activity, Declan Rice effectively plays the role of two players in one, supporting Arsenal's attacking efforts.

Meanwhile, Trossard created space for Viktor Gyökeres with his skills in provoking defenders.

Partnership of Eze and Gyökeres

Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres effectively collaborated in pressing. Arteta trusted Eze with a place in the midfield.

These changes in play gave Arsenal a significant advantage over Newcastle.

Set pieces

Arsenal is renowned for its expertise in executing set pieces, although Newcastle also has a strong lineup in this aspect.

Both clubs found that executing short corners often reached the goal unprotected.

Arteta's boldness

Arsenal fully deserved this victory, as they were the better team throughout the match.

Arteta demonstrated a willingness to change his strategies and secure victories in difficult matches, which is a sign of a strong team.
