Arsenal Tops EPL After 2-0 Win Against Newcastle

Arsenal reclaimed the top position in the English Premier League after a 2-0 victory against Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side, who had lost their healthy lead in the title race, secured the win with goals from Eze and Gabriel Martinelli.

Bukayo Saka, returning from injury, scored the decisive goal nine minutes into the match. Eze's seventh league goal of the season came from a well-executed corner kick routine, which he arrowed into the top corner.

Despite Arsenal's dominance, they went into halftime with a slim lead. In the second half, Newcastle attempted to equalize, with David Raya making a crucial save from Sven Botman's effort, and Yoann Wissa missing a close-range chance.

Ultimately, Newcastle's late push failed to yield results, leaving them languishing in 14th position, while Arsenal moved three points clear of Manchester City in the title race.
