Arsenal showcased their Premier League title credentials by securing their sixth consecutive win with a commanding performance against Newcastle. The victory places Mikel Arteta’s team just two points behind leaders Liverpool and one point behind second-placed Manchester City. Sven Botman’s own goal resulting from a corner set the tone for Arsenal’s dominance.

Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka added to the lead while Jakub Kiwior’s deflected effort from a corner extended the advantage. Joe Willock scored a late consolation for Newcastle. Arsenal’s impressive run since January marked by resilience and set-piece prowess indicates a potential title challenge. In contrast, Newcastle struggled to contain Arsenal’s attacks with goalkeeper Loris Karius making several crucial saves.

Despite late substitutions injecting energy, the performance highlighted a significant gap in class between Newcastle and the title contenders.
