My Opinion:
My man of the match was Ozil. Arsenal cruise past Newcastle at Emirates. It was a very strong performance from the Gunners who deservedly took all three points after a comfortable night's work. There was only one team who looked like scoring and that was Arsenal. In the end they scored three but it could have been more as Cazorla and Podolski both had good chances in front of goal. The class of Ozil and Ramsay shone as Newcastle just couldn't stop either of them pulling the strings in midfield. With two games to go now, Arsenal look set to seal 4th place as should win their remaining fixtures.
Newcastle were poor and didn't get going at all throughout the game. Tiote, Debucy and Gouffran all threatened but there was a clear difference in class between the two sides in front of goal. Things are not getting any easier for Pardew and they need this season to end sooner rather than later. They need to replace Cabaye in the summer whilst Remy is rumoured to be leaving. Gloomy times for the Toon Army.
