They swept Newcastle and Arsenal stayed close to the top

Always in the hunt for the Premier League title Arsenal, who demolished Newcastle 4-1 at home and again reduced its gap from the top to two points.

The “gunners” entered the match strongly and took an early lead of two goals, with an own goal Boatman in the 18th minute to open the score and Havertz to double his team’s tally six minutes later.

In the 65th minute, the German switched to the role of passer and… served the 3-0 to Satchelby Kiwior to see his name enter the scorers’ table in the 69th minute.

The “magpies” managed to reach the goal of honor with Wheelock in 84′, with this defeat being the first after five matches in the league and Cup.
