Arsenal reclaim top spot

Arsenal reclaim top spot

Arsenal have returned to the summit of the Premier League following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium.

A stunning early strike from Eberechi Eze proved to be the difference as Mikel Arteta's side moved three points clear of Manchester City.

The win was tempered by injury concerns for Kai Havertz and Eze, who were both substituted during the match.

Arteta praised his team's resilience but criticized several refereeing decisions that he felt went against his side.
