Lee Dixon slams Arsenal star after Anthony Gordon doubles Newcastle’s lead
Lee Dixon singled out Jurrien Timber for criticism after Anthony Gordon doubled Newcastle’s lead in a 2-0 win over Arsenal, criticising the full-back for being ‘too slow’ to the rebound.
Alexander Isak took his tally to 14 in all competitions with an emphatic 37th-minute strike from close range to break the deadlock in this evening’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
The Magpies increased the deficit just six minutes into the second half after David Raya kept out Isak’s initial effort, only for Gordon to ghost in at the back post and beat a sleeping Timber to the follow-up.
Arteta’s players appeared dumbfounded as Gordon wheeled away in celebration and the goal drew audible groans from the Emirates crowd, with the hosts unable to respond and facing an uphill battle to progress to this year’s final.
It means Arsenal are without victory in their last two games – after a 1-1 draw at Brighton in the Premier League – and the north Londoners will be desperate to return to winning ways against Manchester United in the FA Cup this weekend.
Watching back replays of Gordon’s goal, ex-Arsenal and England full-back Dixon said on ITV’s commentary of the game: ‘There’s the space, there’s the ball but at the far post, Timber…
‘Bits and pieces, too slow, you’ve got to react from the goalkeeper’s save better than that. Follow it in. Gordon does follow it in, he gets the rewards, 2-0. Big mountain to climb for Arsenal.’
