Arsenal kept their Premier League title hopes alive with a mature 2-0 victory over Newcastle at St. James' Park. The game got off to a rocky start when Jacob Murphy hit the post inside a minute and the hosts thought they had a penalty for a handball by Jakub Kiwior before VAR intervened.
The Gunners weathered the early storm though and came back into the game before Martin Odegaard hammered them in front from the edge of the box. It could have been several more before half time, but Newcastle fought back after the break and forced Aaron Ramsdale into some sublime saves.
Arsenal again held firm under the Geordie pressure and struck a second when Fabian Schar could only turn Gabriel Martinelli's cross into his own net. It's a result that reduces Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League to just one point and ensures that the Gunners will keep fighting on as long as possible. Here football.london takes a look back at the moments you may have missed from the game.
