Newcastle United 0-2 Arsenal: Gunners keep Premier League title hopes alive with win

Arsenal clawed Manchester City's lead at the Premier League summit back to one point after they came out on top in a thriller against Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Mikel Arteta's side, who have played one game more than the champions, responded superbly to the pressure exerted by Manchester City's victory over Leeds United to prevail in an action-packed, edgy encounter littered with chances on Tyneside.

Newcastle, attempting to strengthen their push for a place in the Champions League next season, started at lightning pace - Jacob Murphy hitting the post and having a penalty award overturned by VAR.
