The Gunners had been struggling recently, which had dashed Mikel Arteta’s hopes of a historic quadruple, leaving them focused on a Premier League and Champions League double.

In the eighth minute, Eze unleashed an unstoppable shot from outside the penalty area, giving Arsenal an early lead.


Instead of capitalizing on this advantage, Arteta, as usual, opted for a defensive approach. Newcastle dominated possession for the remainder of the match, but this time Arsenal managed to defend effectively and secure three crucial points.

First Premier League win in over a month

Arsenal’s victory over Newcastle was their first Premier League win in over 40 days. The last three points for Martin Ødegaard and his teammates came against Everton with a 2-0 victory on March 14th.

Since then, Arsenal had suffered a series of significant defeats, starting with the Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City (2-0 at Wembley) and their FA Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium on April 4th.

While Arsenal progressed to the Champions League semi-finals with a 1-0 aggregate win over Sporting Lisbon, they suffered two consecutive Premier League defeats against Bournemouth and Manchester City, both by a score of 2-1.

Arsenal Temporarily Reclaims Premier League Lead

Thanks to this victory, Arsenal temporarily reclaims the top spot in the Premier League, reaching 73 points, three points ahead of Manchester City. Guardiola’s team has a game in hand against Crystal Palace.

It’s worth noting that if City wins their postponed match, they will be level on points with Arsenal. In this case, goal difference will be used to determine the leader, and the two teams are almost evenly matched in this regard. Thus, the Premier League title will be decided based on the number of goals scored, with City currently holding the advantage.
