NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, England -- Arsenal cut Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League to one point with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Newcastle United in a pulsating match at St James' Park on Sunday.
Martin Odegaard gave the visitors the lead against the run of play after 14 minutes with a fine low drive before Fabian Schar turned Gabriel Martinelli's 75th-minute cross into his own net. Mikel Arteta's side have played a game more than City but secured a win that will turn up the heat on the title rivals given they must juggle the domestic run-in with a two-legged Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid over the next 10 days.
