Arsenal dump Newcastle to keep title hope alive

Arsenal have beating Newcastle 0-2 away from home to keep title hope alive, cutting Manchester City’s lead at the top by a point.

The Gunners were expected to have a stiffer challenge from high-flying Newcastle, but they managed to squeeze two goals past the homers.

The Gunners opened scoring on 14 minutes after a nice piece of skill by Martin Odegaard. He perfectly collected a pass from Jorginho and unleashed a fantastic long-range strike which went inside the right post.

Earlier, Jacob Murphy had a good opportunity when he latched on to a cross from the wing, but his strike from the penalty spot was not accurate enough and the ball bounced away off the left post.
