ARSENAL remained hot on the heels of the top two in the title battle with an emphatic 4-1 victory over a struggling Newcastle United side in the Premier League on Saturday.
An own goal by Sven Botman and a simple Kai Havertz finish put Arsenal 2-0 up at the break before Bukayo Saka, and Jakub Kiwior struck to wrap up the points.
Joe Willock came on to score a consolation for Newcastle.
The victory took Mikel Arteta’s side to 58 points after 26 games, two behind leaders Liverpool and a point adrift of Manchester City, who earlier won 1-0 at Bournemouth.
Arsenal have now scored 25 goals in their last six Premier League games and the win over Newcastle was the perfect tonic.
