Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League table with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

The decisive moment came early in the match when Eberechi Eze curled a brilliant strike into the top corner in the ninth minute after a clever short-corner routine involving Kai Havertz.<\/p>\n

The goal proved enough to separate the sides, despite Newcastle creating several chances through players like Bruno Guimar\u00e3es and Sandro Tonali.<\/p>\n

Manager Eddie Howe made attacking changes in the second half, introducing Yoane Wissa and Harvey Barnes, but Newcastle failed to find an equaliser, with Wissa missing a late opportunity.<\/p>\n

The result sees Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, go three points clear at the top, although they have played one game more than rivals Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Despite the victory, Arsenal suffered injury concerns as both Havertz and Eze were forced off, which could impact their upcoming fixtures, including a key UEFA Champions League semi-final clash.<\/p>\n

For Newcastle, the defeat marks a fourth consecutive league loss, continuing a difficult run of form despite an improved attacking display.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s resilience under pressure keeps them firmly in control of the title race\u2014for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
