In a bid to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title, Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory against Newcastle United away from home on Sunday.
Despite concerns over their recent defensive record, the Gunners outplayed a high-flying Newcastle, who are currently in third place, thanks to their attacking prowess.
The match was not without controversy, as a potential penalty for Newcastle was overturned by VAR, leading to an Arsenal goal just moments later.
While Aaron Ramsdale made several saves to keep Newcastle at bay, Gabriel Martinelli's clever run down the left touchline led to the decisive second goal, albeit with an unintentional touch from Fabian Schar.
However, the number of fouls in the game could be a cause for concern for both coaches, with Schar lucky to avoid a red card towards the end of the match.
With the win, Arsenal sit just one point behind Manchester City, while Newcastle could be overtaken by Manchester United if they win later that evening against West Ham.
