The Digest:
Eberechi Eze's stunning first-half strike secured a 1-0 win for Arsenal over Newcastle, sending the Gunners back to the top of the Premier League table. Arsenal moved three points clear of Manchester City, though City have a game in hand. The goal came from a short corner routine, with Eze curling a first-time finish into the top corner. However, Arsenal produced another nervy display, with Newcastle dominating possession for large stretches.
