Bournemouth bruise an injury plagued Newcastle to move out of relegation zone

By Soccer

Dominic Solanke’s brace was just enough to give the cherries a well deserved victory over a Newcastle United team that has been bruised with a lot of injuries. Andoni Iraiola’s side failed to capitalise on numerous chances initially in the first half before Dominic Solanke eventually broke the deadlock just after an hour, taking advantage of a loose ball that ricocheted off Joe Willock to slot in from close range. He doubled the lead 13 minutes later, flicking in a rebound after Luis Sinisterra’s header came back off the post.

Gabriel Martinelli’s deflected effort in the 86th minute of the game gave Arsenal a very much needed 1-0 win over title rivals Manchester City, making it the first time they’ve won against the Manchester Club since their 2-1 win in 2015. The brilliant Brazilian winger had missed the last five games prior due to injury, but gave Arsenal momentum when he came on at half time, and then capped it all with a perfectly timed goal with just four minutes of normal time remaining.
