Goals from Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon earned Newcastle United a 2-0 win against Arsenal at St. James’ Park and a place in the Carabao Cup final.

The Magpies go through 4-0 on aggregate after securing a 2-0 win in the first leg at the Emirates stadium.

Arsenal went into Wednesday’s game on the back of their weekend performance against Manchester City.

But it was Newcastle who looked more threatening when they went forward and it did not come as a surprise when Alexander Isak gave them the lead on seven minutes.

However, the goal was ruled out for offside after consultation with VAR.

The Magpies eventually took the lead in the 19th minute as Murphy tapped into an empty target after Isak’s initial effort came off the post.

Arsenal suffered another injury setback as Gabriel Martinelli went off on 37 minutes with a suspected hamstring.

In the 52nd minute Newcastle went 2-0 to Gordon.

Fabian Schär won the ball on the edge of the box after Arsenal backline failed to clear their lines and the ball fell to Gordon who slotted it into the net.

The closest Arsenal came to scoring was late in the second half through Myles Lewis-Skelly, but the young defender failed to direct his free header from a corner towards goal.

Newcastle would hope to go one better this time after losing 2-0 to Manchester United in the final the season before.

Meanwhile, the second semi-final will be played on Thursday between Carabao Cup holders Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Spurs hold a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

The English Premier League matchday 33 delivered high drama and significant movements in the table as Chelsea pulled off a last-gasp comeback, Wolves completed a historic double over Manchester United, and Arsenal cruised to a dominant away victory.
Over at Craven Cottage, Fulham suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Chelsea. Enzo Maresca’s side clawed back from a goal down to snatch all three points dramatically.

Chelsea claimed a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon to strengthen their push for UEFA Champions League qualification. Goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto in the final 15 minutes turned the tide after Alex Iwobi’s first-half strike had given the hosts the lead.

Chelsea struggled to create clear chances despite dominating possession for large stretches. The Blues lacked composure in the final third, with Pedro Neto seeing a powerful effort blocked by Bernd Leno and Cole Palmer dragging a promising opportunity wide after a clever run into the area.

Alex Iwobi had put Fulham ahead in the 20th minute, but Chelsea responded late. Tyrique George equalized in the 83rd minute before Pedro Neto fired home a stoppage-time winner (90’+3). The victory lifts Chelsea back to fifth, now just two points behind third-placed Newcastle.

At Portman Road, Ipswich Town suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The Gunners dismantled the Premier League newcomers with a clinical performance.

Leandro Trossard netted twice (14’, 69’), while Gabriel Martinelli (28’) and teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri (88’) also got on the scoresheet. The win keeps Arsenal firmly in the title race and adds to Ipswich’s struggles near the bottom of the table.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Wolves in the Premier League matchday 33. Pablo Sarabia stunned the home crowd with a sublime free-kick in the 77th minute, sealing a second win of the season over United for Wolves.

Note that this is the first time the Midlands club has done the league double over United since the 1979-1980 season. The win puts Wolves level on points with the Red Devils, tightening the race for European spots.
