Arsenal fans were furious, as Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossar performed poorly.
Arsenal lost to Newcastle United 0-2 in the first leg of the English Football League Cup semifinals of the 2024-25 season at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, at 5 a.m. on Saturday (Korea time). With the defeat, Arsenal finished their 13-game unbeaten streak.
Both their performance and results were lagging behind. Arsenal had mobilized all of their key players, including Kai Havertz, Martin 외degaard, and Declan Rice, but Newcastle's momentum was also not strong. Then, in the 36th minute of the first half, Alexander Isaac finished the ball with his left foot after Jacob Murphy hit the ball with his head in a set piece situation. Thus, the first half ended with a 0-1 Newcastle lead.
In the second half, Newcastle scored a decisive goal to effectively secure the victory. In the sixth minute of the second half, goalkeeper David Raya saved Isaac's shot, but Anthony Gordon pushed it in to score an additional goal. Arsenal then deployed Gabriere Jejudge, Jorginho, and Oleksandr Zinchenko to try to turn the game around, but the match ended with a 0-2 Newcastle victory without a goal.
Arsenal finished their 13-match unbeaten streak with the loss on the day, drawing strong criticism against the two players. They were Martinelli and Trossar, who were in charge of side attacks. Martinelli and Trossar, who started as strikers on the right and left sides, respectively, showed little influence in the offensive line, and were cited as the cause of their defeat. According to the soccer statistics magazine "Sofascore," Martinelli, who played full time, had 0 effective shots, 1 big chance miss, 0% success rate of crosses (0 out of 11), 0% success rate of aerial competition (0 out of 2), and 18 turnovers, while Trossar also showed disappointing performances including 0 effective shots, 0% success rate of crosses (0 out of 2), and 11 turnovers. 안전놀이터
Arsenal fans seem to be already feeling the limit of their patience. The British media Sports Bible said that Martinelli and Trossar were considered as players who should be excluded from the starting list and even left the team altogether. One fan commented, 'Martinelli and Trossar may leave now. They are not performing well and continuing their sluggish performance,' while another commented, 'Jeju Islanders, who are currently showing the best performance, are sitting on the bench because of the two.'
