We saw the first of the two semi-final first legs last evening, and there was a real shock on the other side of north London.
Arsenal were stunned in front of their own fans as Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scored the goals for Newcastle United either side of half-time.
Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz were all culpable of missing big chances for Mikel Arteta’s side on a night where they did everything but hit the back of the net.
It leaves Arsenal facing a massive uphill challenge as they will go to St James’ Park next month looking to overturn the two-goal deficit.
You can catch up with all the action as it happened, play by play, with The Athletic‘s live blog from last night here.
