Bukayo Saka was on target for Arsenal in their 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle United in a Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday night.
The result sees Mikel Arteta’s side sit two points behind leaders Liverpool and a point behind second-placed Manchester City at the top of the table.
Earlier in the day, Manchester City had defeated Bournemouth 1-0 to keep up the chase at the top behind Liverpool.
Arsenal then kept the pressure on both teams with a statement win which followed their rather disappointing outing against Porto in the Champions League in midweek.
