Arsenal edge Newcastle to reclaim Premier League top spot

Arsenal moved back into first place with 73 points, restoring a three-point gap over Manchester City, who still have a game in hand.

Early goal makes the difference

The decisive moment came early, with Eberechi Eze scoring the only goal in the ninth minute with a powerful strike from outside the box.

Unconvincing performance

Despite the victory, Arsenal’s display—particularly in the second half—lacked fluency against a struggling Newcastle side, which has now lost four consecutive matches across all competitions.

Goalkeeper David Raya played a key role, making a crucial save to deny Sandro Tonali in the first half.

Focus shifts to Europe

Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal now turn their attention to a crucial clash against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-final.
