Arsenal gave their challenge for Champions League qualification a huge boost as they beat a toothless Newcastle United 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night.
It was a tale of two first half goals for Arsenal and especially Aaron Ramsey, as the midfielder thought he had given the Gunners a flying start to the match, smashing in at the back post following a Saed Kolasinac flick on from a corner. A foul by Sokratis on Newcastle's Florian Lejeune whilst tussling in the penalty area however saw referee Anthony Taylor cut the Welshman's celebrations short.
Ramsey did however have a goal to celebrate on the half hour mark, as his low left footed effort from just inside the box found the back of Martin Dubravka's net via the inside of the post.
