Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon were the goalscorers for the Magpies
The main conceptual idea is that Mikel Arteta attributes Arsenal's poor finishing in their Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle, partly due to the different match ball used in the competition, compared to the Premier League ball. He emphasizes the difference in efficiency between the two teams in converting their chances, highlighting Newcastle's clinical finishing with Isak's goals as a key factor in the defeat.
While Arteta acknowledges that the ball wasn't the sole reason for the loss, he suggests it played a role in his players' inability to find the back of the net.
