EFL Cup exit means Arsenal are heading for another trophyless season
Arsenal have been knocked out of the EFL Cup after a disappointing defeat against West Ham which now most likely means they will not win a trophy this season.
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
It was a night to forget for the Gunners as they suffered their first defeat of the season against an in-form Newcastle United.
Anthony Gordon was the hero of the day after his controversial second-half winner ended Arsenal’s dream of an unbeaten season.

Gordon’s winner took some time to be awarded following an incredible triple-check from the VAR as Arsenal believed the ball had initially gone out before a fail on defender Gabriel.
The Gunners also claimed that Newcastle United players were caught offside in the build-up to the goal. But despite the time it took to check, the VAR waved aside all three appeals and awarded the goal to the Magpies.

Arteta slams decision
After the game, Arsenal manager, Arteta, was anything but pleased following a tirade during his post-match press conference.
The visibly furious Spaniard described the VAR decision as ‘embarrassing’ and ‘disgraceful’.

"It's a disgrace," Arteta said according to Sky Sports. "It's embarrassing. That's how I feel and that's how everybody feels in that [dressing] room.
“You cannot imagine the amount of messages we've got saying this cannot continue. It's embarrassing. I'm sorry, embarrassing."
)
Speaking further, the 41-year-old added that the club would not accept what had happened at St. James’ Park.
“I feel sick,” he added. “That's how I feel. I feel sick to be part of this. It is not good enough and we cannot accept that."
With the defeat to Newcastle United, Arsenal’s North London neighbours, Tottenham, are now the only unbeaten team left in the Premier League.
