New signings fire Newcastle and Arsenal to victory in the Premier League | OneFootball

Arsenal and their new signings steamrolled Ange Postecoglou's Nottingham Forest 3-0 this Saturday, in the fourth round of the English Championship. Nick Woltemade, recently signed by Newcastle, scored on his debut and secured the victory against Wolverhampton.

Less than 30 minutes were enough for the German striker to score for the first time with the Magpies, who beat Wolverhampton 1-0, in their first game since the departure of Swedish Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

The most expensive signing in Newcastle's history smartly positioned himself between two defenders to receive a cross from Jacob Murphy and head the game's goal (29') at St James’ Park.

“I've been here for four days, so everything was new to me. The coach gave me freedom, I felt good on the field,” said the striker, who was substituted in the second half to applause from the crowd after suffering from cramps.

Zubimendi shines in Arsenal victory

With two goals from Martín Zubimendi, Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 and moved to the top of the table, equaling Liverpool, who visit Burnley on Sunday.

With this result, the 'Gunners' put behind their defeat to the 'Reds' in the last round (1-0) and go with confidence to their debut in the Champions League, next Tuesday, against Athletic Bilbao.

Zubimendi was the protagonist of the London team's victory. Signed this season, the Spaniard scored for the first time since arriving in England at 32 minutes into the game and closed the score in the second half (79').

The second goal of Arsenal was the work of Swedish Viktor Gyökeres (46'), who equaled Erling Haaland in the championship's top scorers (3 goals), before the Norwegian took the field in the Manchester derby on Sunday.

The bad news for coach Mikel Arteta was the injury to Martin Odegaard, who had to be substituted in the first half due to a shoulder problem and now joins Saliba, Havertz, Saka and Gabriel Jesus in the medical department.
