Defeating Arsenal on Saturday felt monumental. Another wonderful night at St. James’ Park, a statement win for the team against a title contender that keeps us within striking distance of our top four opponents.
Ahead of another crucial week for the team, Eddie Howe’s Mags should be encouraged by a few other Saturday results.
Borussia Dortmund suffered a devastating 4-0 loss at home to Bayern Munich, where Harry Kane scored a hat-trick and the hosts mustered only one shot on goal the whole game, just as we were wrapping up our second confidence-boosting victory of the week.

We play a Bournemouth team that was humiliated 6-1 at Man City on Saturday after our journey to Germany. In addition to the Cherries suffering a crushing defeat, newly signed Alex Scott exited the Etihad wearing a knee brace after being forced off due to injury.
Fans of Bournemouth have responded on social media, indicating that Scott has been their best player lately. If an injury keeps him out of the game this coming weekend, it would be a major loss.
Thus, as Newcastle’s injuries and suspensions mount, our next two opponents have serious issues of their own as the team prepares for yet another crucial week.
