Newcastle United fans sing ‘Arsenal lost because of the ball‘, targeting Mikel Arteta, while media from the club in the northeast joined the group by posting pictures of the problematic ball. In
the first leg earlier this month, the Gunners lost to the Magpies 2-0 at home, and Arteta answered media questions after the match that the ball tends to fly high, which is one of the reasons why his team lacks sharpness and has had to adapt.
On คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย Wednesday, Arsenal failed to score again in the second leg, and were defeated 4-0 on aggregate by Eddie Howe’s side.
“Mikel Arteta… it must be the ball,” fans at St James’ Park sang at their rival manager as his team held on to the lead.
The result also meant Arteta lost to Eddie Howe’s Newcastle for the fifth time in his head coaching career. The most of any side in a competition is only lost to Pep Guardiola (9) and Jurgen Klopp (6).
In addition, across the two legs of the competition, Arsenal created a combined 34 chances, while Newcastle’s media joined in the joke:
“Found the culprit,” Newcastle’s official account wrote in the caption, alongside a picture of the Puma-branded Carabao Cup ball.
