Putting the abomination that was a 5-1 loss to Spurs behind them, Arsenal had a lot to prove when they played Newcastle in the fourth round of the FA Cup earlier today.
Under new boss Kevin Keegan, Newcastle were a much more attacking side, and actually had the better of the chances early on. However, Arsenal dominated the majority of the match, and after a scoreless first half, put three past the Magpies in the second half to advance to the fifth round.
Emmanuel Adebayor scored a brace, while Nicky Butt added an own goal to make it 3-0 to the Gunners and job done.
The same two teams meet on Tuesday in the league. It’ll be interesting to see if the same tactics are trotted out by both managers. Somehow, I doubt it.
