The Magpies showed a lot of promise, with Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy scoring goals. However, Arsenal's goals from Mikel Merino, Alex Murphy's own goal, and Martin Odegaard's penalty proved to be too much for Newcastle.

Howe acknowledged that his team needed to improve their performance, especially in defense. He mentioned that there were still some areas to work on, but he was proud of his team's effort and determination.

When asked about the future of striker Alexander Isak, who has been linked with a transfer, Howe was clear that Isak would not be joining the team's tour. He emphasized that the club knows they need to bring in new players to strengthen their squad, and the transfer window has been challenging for them.
