Arsenal established a stranglehold on second spot in the 2024–25 Premier League table by beating Newcastle United 1–0 at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners were kept in the contest by their goalkeeper, David Raya, in the opening exchanges as the visitors dominated proceedings, but there was a clear improvement after halftime which resulted in their slender triumph.
Declan Rice’s wicked curling effort proved to be the difference between the two teams, as the Gunners secured their first win over the Magpies this season at the fourth attempt. The victory means Arsenal will compete in next season’s Champions League, but Eddie Howe’s men are still in a thrilling mix with one game to go.
