Premier League 2019/20: Newcastle United 0-1 Arsenal - 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Flop: Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Henrikh Mkhitaryan lacked end product in his game

In spite of dominating ball-possession in the first half, Arsenal struggled to create clear-cut chances. There was a lot of mobility among the players but they lacked the final pass to penetrate Newcastle United's defensive block.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, with his wasteful outing in the first half, pretty much summed up Arsenal's performance in that duration. The Armenia international occupied threatening positions in between the lines, but, he often overcooked, under-cooked or mistimed his passes, failing to unlock the defence.

The 30-year-old failed to release Aubameyang with his through balls, often finding the striker in an offside position. Mkhitaryan also failed to hit the target from the edge of the box after finding himself unmarked in the 23rd minute..

To sum up his average evening, Mkhitaryan was shown the yellow card for a late challenge on Isaac Hayden. Similar to his poor outings in the past, the Armenian struggled due to a lack of concentration, leading to inconsistent decisions.
