Arsenal have beaten Newcastle to return to the top of the Premier League.
Back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City saw Mikel Arteta’s side drop to level with Pep Guardiola’s defending champions.
However, Eberechi Eze’s first half strike, a stunning curled effort off a short corner routine, was enough to stop Arsenal’s losing run.
With Man City in FA Cup action today, Arsenal are three points clear having played a game more.
Should Mikel Arteta’s side beat Fulham next Saturday, they will be six points clear before City play another league game, with Pep Guardiola and co not in action again until Monday week.
You can relive all the action as it happened with ESPN.
