In the last 5 Newcastle vs Arsenal matches, the Gunners have been triumphant on 3 occasions and the Magpies got over the line once. One of those games ended in a goalless draw. However, the interesting thing is that all the matches with results have ended in 2-0. The last time Newcastle United beat the Gunners at St. James’ Park was in May of 2022 when Ben White scored an own goal and Bruno Guimaraes extended the lead for the Geordies as the game finished 2-0 in favour of the Magpies.
