Fresh from a win over Fulham in Highbury on 26 December, Arsenal travelled to St James' Park to take on the Magpies Newcastle United on 28 December.

After completing the feat of a new unbeaten run at the top of Europe's top competition, Arsenal's psychological tension was relieved.

The players may not be too obsessed with "undefeated", because they are already the setters of new records, as for whether they can set a record that future generations look up to and cannot break, it can only depend on luck, after all, there is no team that will not lose, this is the most basic common sense.

People will only try to maintain a good performance, which will help them play better.

Newcastle United originally hoped to challenge for the league title in recent years, but with the retirement of veteran coach Robson and the beginning of the golden era of football in European football, Newcastle United's plans have been ruthlessly attacked.

New boss Sansones arrived at St James' Park with the club's high hopes of winning the league title, only to find that after half a season, the Magpies not only failed to become a title contender, but were not too far from the relegation zone.

Newcastle United had just drawn with Blackburn Rovers in the Christmas game and were not in high spirits, so it was natural to be pragmatic when they returned home to face Arsenal, who had just broken their unbeaten record.

Arsenal are in good form for this game, but Newcastle United are focusing on defense at home, and probably they don't want to be crushed by Arsenal in the first home game of the new year due to their unrestrained style of play, which will definitely be very dissatisfying to the fans, especially Sansones' record this season, which is not satisfactory to the fans and the club's management.

Alan Shearer is invisible against Arsenal's solid defence and he is getting old. Plus the team's lack of support for the offense. This made Alan Shearer very frustrated.

Arsenal, however, were met with stubborn sniping from their opponents in the attack.

Inside St James's Park. Newcastle United's penalty area is full of danger.

Thierry Henry, Pire, and Ljungberg kept shooting in the box, bombarding the Magpies goal, but it just didn't bear fruit.

Qin Xiong and Patrick Vieira also tried to threaten with long-range shots on the periphery, while also making the opponents pay attention to the backline and push forward to create more space in the penalty area.

Magpie fans aren't having a good Christmas at all.

The team can't even fantasize about competing for the championship, and they can't even fantasize about Champions League qualification. Even occasionally wakes up worried: Damn, we won't be playing in the Championship next year, right?

In this game against the defending champion Arsenal, Magpies fans did not have any expectations at all, and the defender Woodgate was poached by Real Madrid, which greatly reduced the strength of the defensive line, and their fate is the same as that of many first-tier clubs, and once they are poached important main players, they may not even be able to maintain the status of first-tier clubs.

Qin Xiong has been playing a game in this game!

The more experience he has in battle, the better his mentality will be, and the more unpredictable his opponents will be when he thinks on the field.

He is a steady passing organization. Make sure Arsenal's attack can be pushed up front.

After the striker is unable to convert a chance into a goal, he will give Vieira a chance. At the same time, Vieira's forward insertion will also create a zào opportunity for him, and the two constantly tear apart the opponent's back line and back line with long-range shots.

In the second half, after Vieira's long-range shot hit the crossbar of the opponent's goal, and Qin Xiong's long-range shot only grazed the post and missed the bottom line, Newcastle United's back line had a clear forward trend.

It is clear at a glance that they can't let Arsenal unscrupulously play long-range shots on the periphery, Qin Xiong and Vieira are both top long-range shooters.

When the 71st minute of the game came, Qin Xiong decisively saw the opportunity, he did not pass the ball again, but made a passing decision when Vieira cut forward and got the ball cross.

Facing Aaron Hughes, Qin Xiong quickly knocked the ball sideways with his left and right feet and pulled the ball back a step.

Hughes was deceived and stepped forward to steal, but his right foot missed, and Qin Xiong's next action to pull the ball back was to move the ball forward!

He passed by Hughes!

Hughes didn't expect Qin Xiong to choose to pass at all, because Qin Xiong has been passing the ball for a long time and rarely breaks through.

Now that Qin Xiong is playing more and more rational and reasonable, he will not break through rashly, as the commander of the team, his first task is always to ensure that the team's attack is smooth, not individual performances.

After the basic effect of organizing the attack is completed, he will make more self-play according to the shape of the field.

After breaking through Hughes, Qin Xiong passed the ball diagonally to Henry, who retreated in the middle outside the box.

Qin Xiong, who runs forward after the ball, and Henry are more and more skillful and tacit, and Henry can understand Qin Xiong's movement and acceleration trend to gain insight into his offensive purpose.

Thierry Henry crosses the ball to the right in front of the box after attracting the opposition centre-back.

Another central defender, Stephen Taylor, rushed forward to intercept, Qin Xiong took a step in front of him and sideways the penalty area with the outside of his right foot to flick the ball towards the penalty area, and after doing this maneuver, he immediately rushed from turning to the penalty area.

The audience was shocked!

Arsenal fans saw a familiar scene in their eyes!

Bergkamp, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but stand up, and all the Arsenal players and coaches stood up, staring at where Qin Xiong was, shocked and eagerly looking forward to it!

Qin Xiong almost copied the Ice Prince Bergkamp's world-moving master!

In front of Taylor, the outside of the right foot instep plucked the ball, so that the football rolled from the right side of Taylor's body, he turned around and quickly bypassed the left side of Taylor's body, and at the same time as the sideways man and the ball were divided, when Qin Xiong rushed forward to the penalty area, he was already a one-handed posture, like a work of art, and the coherent action was pleasing to the eye!

Goalkeeper Jiwen did not abandon the goal, which allowed Qin Xiong to adjust the ball with his left foot after rushing into the penalty area, and directly followed up with a volley with his right foot!

The ball flew diagonally towards the goal, with great force, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the top left corner of the goal!

Most of the stands at St James' Park fell silent, and the Arsenal fans who came from afar cheered and boiled, and some fans held their heads in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe what they had just seen!

"Fantastic goal! Who's that? Who's that? That's not Bergkamp! It's Qin Xiong! It's Arsenal No. 11 Qin Xiong! He replicated Bergkamp's goal! Newcastle United will once again be the backdrop for the best goal in the Premier League! Qin Xiong broke through Hughes quickly and smartly, and when he received Henry's pass, he turned sideways and played Taylor! There are no words to describe the beauty of this goal, I'm sure, I'm sure a lot of sports TV in Europe will broadcast it over and over again! The new European Golden Boy is showing the world his unrivalled football skills! ”

All the coaches and players of Arsenal were cheering and applauding Qin Xiong's goal, which was not only a wonderful goal, but the last player to shock the world in this way was on the Arsenal bench, 35-year-old Bergkamp.

Qin Xiong didn't smile after scoring the goal, but exuded a wild domineering spirit, roaring hideously as he ran along the sidelines.

In fact, Arsenal's unbeaten record can be said to have lost its relevance.

They set a new record and go down in history.

But looking at the standings, Arsenal are only one point ahead of Chelsea!

It's the league championship that's really realistic!

Pushing forward under pressure, in order not to continue the unbeaten record, but to lead Chelsea all the way and finally lift the league trophy!

Therefore, Qin Xiong's goal is to bring victory, and as for the undefeated record, it is no longer in the scope of their consideration.

The teammates rushed over and surrounded Qin Xiong.

Now Qin Xiong's role in the team is extremely important, and his importance is self-evident.

Newcastle United were battered and conceded for most of the half, and Sansones had nothing to do but hope that the team would rush forward and do their best to equalise.

However, Arsenal did not let up after taking the lead.

With the pressure of Chelsea chasing after them, there is no way for any player to let it up!

When Newcastle United began to press heavily and attack Arsenal's defense with English long balls, Campbell, Toure, Vieira and Silva played a key role in making Arsenal's penalty area unbreakable, like a fortress, if a Newcastle United player rushed into the box, it was just a prison!
