With a 2-0 victory against Newcastle United on Sunday, Arsenal demonstrated that they are still in the Premier League championship fight and have cut the deficit to one point behind leaders Manchester City.
Losing would have left Arsenal’s chances of winning their first championship since 2004 hanging by a thread, but Martin Odegaard’s spectacular goal and an own goal from Fabian Schar clinched a crucial victory.
In an effort to secure third place and move one step closer to a top-four finish, Newcastle controlled the first 14 minutes, but Odegaard’s lovely goal gave the visitors the lead. Then, with 20 minutes left, Schar unintentionally turned in a cross from Gabriel Martinelli.
With 82 points from 34 games and the Gunners on 81 after playing one more game, City has surpassed Arsenal after winning 10 straight games. Newcastle continues to be in third place with 65 points, although Manchester United may pass them later on Sunday if they triumph against West Ham United.
