The conclusion from Newcastle United’s trouncing of Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final was that Eddie Howe has better attackers at his disposal than Mikel Arteta. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will have nightmares about Alexander Isak for months after being tormented by the Swede in both games.

Arsenal striker Kai Havertz has been speaking to Sky Sports following the game: "I think we managed to press them quite well. We didn't give them much time. Manchester City are a top team and sometimes they beat the press, but I think our energy was good. We used our chances and, at the end, I think it was a good game."

Mikel Arteta has spoken out about Arsenal's failure to sign a new striker, with Kai Havertz the only frontline striker on their books with Gabriel Jesus out injured
