Gunners out to end run of four domestic losses in a row to reignite title bid

Arsenal got their Premier League title push back on track with a 1-0 win over Newcastle in north London. Eberechi Eze’s brilliant strike from distance after nine minutes proved enough for a result that moved the Gunners three points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand due to their FA Cup semi-final involvement against Southampton.

Mikel Arteta’s side were largely lacklustre in attack and had to survive some nervy moments at the other end, including one big chance missed by Yoane Wissa. However, Arsenal held on to bounce back from consecutive league defeats to Bournemouth and Man City and keep themselves right in the title race.

Newcastle have now suffered five successive defeats in all competitions and shouts of being dragged into a Premier League relegation battle may grow even louder as the pressure mounts on head coach Eddie Howe, who will have been encouraged by certain aspects of the performance.
