On Sunday, May 7th, Arsenal defeated Newcastle United 2-0, keeping their hopes of winning the Premier League title alive. Manchester City currently holds the top spot, with a one-point lead over Arsenal, who are determined to continue fighting for their first league title in 19 years. Although Manchester City has a game in hand, Arsenal has shown no sign of giving up on their quest to become champions.
A loss would have severely damaged Arsenal’s hopes of winning their first title since 2004. However, Martin Odegaard's fantastic goal and a Fabian Schar own goal secured the crucial victory for the Gunners.
Newcastle United’s second home defeat of the season slowed their progress towards qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season, as their lead over fifth-placed Liverpool remains three points. Eddie Howe’s team may only require six points from their remaining four games to secure Champions League football for the first time in 20 years, but they could fall to fourth place if Manchester United win at West Ham later on Sunday.
