Newcastle United secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Arsenal at St. James’ Park on Saturday, dealing a significant blow to the Gunners’ title aspirations.
Alexander Isak’s early header in the 12th minute proved to be the decisive goal. Anthony Gordon delivered a precise cross from the right, which Isak expertly headed past David Raya.
Despite Arsenal’s efforts, particularly a late header from Declan Rice that narrowly missed the target, Newcastle’s resolute defence held firm.
This win marked a significant moment for Eddie Howe’s side, ending a six-match winless streak in the English Premier League.
With this victory, Newcastle climbed to eighth in the standings with 15 points, while Arsenal remained provisionally third on 18 points.
