Following Arsenal’s elimination from the Carabao Cup, supporters believe that Anthony Gordon, a star for Newcastle, made a subtle jab at them.
Victory
With a 2-0 victory at home in the second leg of the teams’ semi-final match on Wednesday, Gordon’s Newcastle easily advanced to Wembley. The Magpies claimed a 4-0 victory overall after winning the first leg by the same result.
Gordon, an England international, took advantage of a mistake made by the Gunners when they tried to play out from the back to score the game-winning goal that sealed Arsenal’s fate.
Following Sunday’s thrilling 5-1 victory against Manchester City, which their supporters saw as retaliation after City striker Erling Haaland advised manager Mikel Arteta to “remain humble” early in the season, the outcome brought Arsenal supporters back to reality.
“We must believe it is not unexpected. Our run hasn’t been easy, but we’re here for a reason. Look at the clubs we’ve faced—four Premier League teams, if I’m not mistaken—but we’ve put in the work and now have a chance.
Disappointing experiences must be used as teaching moments.
“Hopefully, we can just better our performance and learn from the previous one. Disappointing experiences must be used as teaching moments. Our performance [in the last final] wasn’t very good. Although I don’t think it was really horrible, there are undoubtedly lessons to be learned in terms of our planning, build-up, and execution.
However, Gordon used those identical words when talking about Newcastle’s preparation for the final, which will take place at Wembley on Sunday, March 18, at St James’ Park. “We believed our strategy would succeed. In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, the 23-year-old stated, “Everyone knows we press.”
“We must now maintain our humility. Although it’s so far away, it will be a significant event.
Fans took notice of his remarks on social media.
“No way Anthony Gordon just said ‘it’s important to stay humble, top class s***housery lad,” remarked a disinterested individual. “Life hits you too fast in football these days,” someone else said. “Absolutely superb,” commented a third.
After losing to Manchester United in 2023, Newcastle will now play either Tottenham or Liverpool in the final. This will be the Magpies’ second trip to Wembley in two years. It’s enormous. “A club like this and where it wants to be, we need to be there regularly,” manager Eddie Howe said, acknowledging that the first Wembley appearance was fantastic while being somewhat unexpected.
