Arsenal stayed in touch with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League after a crucial 2-0 victory against third-place Newcastle.
Martin Ødegaard’s long-range strike and Fabian Schär’s own goal wrapped up the win for Arsenal, though both teams could have easily scored more over the course of the fast-paced, entertaining match. The result sees the Gunners move a point behind Manchester City having played one game more than the defending champion.
Despite Newcastle’s bright start, Arsenal took the lead through Ødegaard’s brilliant shot from outside the box – the Norwegian’s 15th league goal of the season. Both teams had chances later in the first half – Arsenal when Gabriel Martinelli and then Bukayo Saka were denied by Nick Pope and Newcastle when Joe Willock forced a good save from Aaron Ramsdale.
