Newcastle 0-2 Arsenal: Mikel Arteta's side maintain Premier League title bid with victory over Eddie Howe's Champions League-chasing team thanks to Martin Odegaard's first half strike and Fabian Schar's own goal

Arsenal ensured they keep pace with Manchester City in their bid to secure a first Premier League title in 19 years with a 2-0 victory away at Newcastle.

In a major exhibition of their ambition to run City to the wire, Mikel Arteta's side saw off one of the league's most in-form sides thanks to Martin Odegaard's first half strike and Fabian Schar's own goal 20 minutes from time.

The result means Arsenal go within a point of City at the top of the Premier League, with Pep Guardiola's side having gone four points clear with victory over Leeds United on Saturday.
