Arsenal legend Ian Wright was pissed off and confused after watching Nuno Tavares give away a foul throw which led to Newcastle’s first aim on Monday night time, earlier than the Magpies accomplished a devastating 2-0 win.

The Gunners’ hopes of a Champions League end had been hit with a near-fatal blow at St James’ Park after an abject efficiency ended within the loss – their thirteenth of the Premier League season.

The scoring began with a Ben White personal aim, which stemmed from Tavares giving freely a foul throw, earlier than Allan Saint-Maximin performed in Joelinton down the left to cross and power the error from White.

It was Taveres’ preliminary blunder that riled Wright, although, with the previous England striker shocked that the full-back may make that form of mistake in such a giant sport.

‘While you take a look at the primary aim it was our throw on,’ Wright advised Premier League Productions.

‘We’re going for prime 4 and we’ve acquired gamers taking foul throws! It’s a foul throw! You assume to your self, “What are you doing?”

‘Off the again of that when it will get out to Cedric you'll be able to’t let Saint Maximin get exterior of you so simply, reduce the road off, present him inside however bang they’re straight into us. It’s an amazing cross however on the identical time that would simply have been prevented.

‘While you’re going for fourth you’ve acquired to be extra resolute than that, you'll be able to’t make errors like that. Sure it’s an personal aim however we’ve been the architects of our personal downfall it’s horrible play.’

Talking on Sky Sports activities, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher added: ‘We’re speaking prime stage soccer right here, a foul throw is just not acceptable, it’s simply not.’

Remarkably, Arsenal have dedicated 25 per cent of the foul throws within the Premier League this season, based on WhoScored.com, being penalised 5 instances out of the 20 given over the marketing campaign. Tavares himself has dedicated three of these foul throws.

Arsenal now sit fifth, two factors behind Tottenham with one league sport to play, and with their vastly superior aim distinction, Spurs simply want a draw towards Norwich to safe a prime 4 end.
