LONDON: Arsenal reduced Manchester City’s lead at the Premier League summit by one point after the Gunners beat Newcastle United 2-0 at St James’ Park on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side, who have played one game more than the champions, responded superbly to the pressure exerted by Manchester City’s victory over Leeds United.
Arsenal are still second favourites as they pursue their first title since 2003/2004 but they demonstrated again they are determined to take the race all the way.
Newcastle stay third, two points ahead of Liverpool in fifth, the good news for Howe and his players being that they remain firmly in control of their own destiny.
