Newcastle United secured a place in the League Cup final with an impressive 2-0 win against Arsenal, wrapping up a commanding 4-0 aggregate victory. The electrifying atmosphere at St James' Park was matched by Newcastle's dominant display on the field, leaving their opponents in disarray.

Jacob Murphy capitalized on a rebound in the 19th minute after Alexander Isak's shot struck the post, giving Newcastle an early lead. Anthony Gordon then took advantage of a defensive lapse to extend the lead in the 52nd minute. Arsenal's performance was marred by missed opportunities, crucially highlighted by Martin Odegaard's failure to score in a pivotal moment of the match.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will need to regroup and refocus on their Premier League campaign, hoping for redemption after a streak of disappointing performances in recent tournaments.
