At St. James’ Park, Arsenal managed to keep their Premier League title hopes alive with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. The Gunners secured a crucial three points thanks to Martin Odegaard’s brilliant strike and an own goal from Fabian Schar.
Despite the eventual outcome, the hosts started the game brightly and hit the woodwork twice but were unable to convert their chances. Unfortunately for them, they would go on to lose at home for only the second time this season, dealing a blow to their top four hopes in the process.
On the other hand, Arsenal can breathe a sigh of relief as they have guaranteed themselves a place in the top two this season. With this win, they move back to within a point of Manchester City, keeping their title aspirations alive.
