Eberechi Eze downs Newcastle, sends Arsenal top of Premier League

Eberechi Eze scored a brilliant ninth-minute strike on April 25, 2026, to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium, sending the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League with 73 points. The win ended Manchester City's 72-hour stint at the summit, putting Arsenal three points clear, though City have played one game fewer. Arsenal's title push continues with a Champions League semifinal against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, but both Eze and Kai Havertz are injury doubts.
