Arsenal reaffirmed their dominance in the Premier League with a commanding 4-1 victory over Newcastle, showcasing their superb form under manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners bounced back from midweek European disappointment with a resounding win, moving within two points of table-toppers Liverpool. Arsenal’s impressive performance extended their remarkable start to 2024, making them the first team in Premier League history to score two or more goals in seven consecutive halves of football.
Since their defeat to Fulham on December 31, Arsenal have been in scintillating form, winning six consecutive league games while scoring 25 goals and conceding just three. This remarkable run has revitalized their title aspirations, reigniting hopes of a successful campaign.
Newcastle struggled to contain Arsenal’s intensity, with Sven Botman’s early own goal setting the tone for the match. Kai Havertz doubled Arsenal’s lead with a well-taken goal following excellent play by Gabriel Martinelli. Bukayo Saka extended Arsenal’s advantage further with a superb goal after the interval, before Jakub Kiwior added a fourth with a well-placed header.
Despite Joe Willock’s late consolation goal for Newcastle, Arsenal’s victory was never in doubt as they cruised to another impressive win. The result underscores Arsenal’s resurgence in the league and highlights their formidable attacking prowess under Arteta’s guidance.
