Barclays Premier League 2014-2015 Arsenal vs. Newcastle United

Arsenal and Newcastle, 2 teams that are 6th and 8th place so far, face off. Newcastle had gotten a lot of public media interest for being the 1st team to beat Chelsea since March and were looking forward to continuing their winning streak. The game started off in minute 15 as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain intercepts a pass. The ball goes right to French striker Olivier Giroud who passes it to Alexis Sanchez, on the left wing. Giroud calls for the return and Sanchez displays a great cross back to the Frenchman and he heads it in. It was a well-set-up play. Newcastle almost scored the equalizer, when Jack Colback takes a free kick that is headed by defender Michael Williamson. Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny makes a very nice save and the ball rebounds to Papiss Cisse, only for his shot to be denied by Szczesny agin before it is cleared.   The next goal came in minute 54, as Santi Cazorla makes  a pass to Sanchez on the left. Sanchez makes a nice defence-splitting pass back to Cazorla, who evades Fabricio Coloccini's tackle and chips it over Jak Alnwick. Not only 4 minutes later, Oxlade-Chamberlain is running up the middle before making a pass to Hector Bellerin. Bellerin crosses the ball to Giroud right near the right post, who chips it way over Alnwick. Newcastle come back in minute 63, when Colback wins a free kick just outside the area. He crosses it to Ayoze Perez at chest-level, and Perez heads it into the far post. The last goal came in minute 88 when Cazorla gives a through ball to Danny Welbeck. While Welbeck gets it, Paul Dummett shoves him to the ground. Cazorla takes the penalty, chips it to the center, and Arsenal wins 4-1.
