Arsenal's Resounding Win Puts Them in Title Contention

Arsenal strengthened their Premier League title challenge and made history in their resounding 4-1 win over Newcastle. Mikel Arteta's side reduced Liverpool's lead at the top to two points, showcasing their dominance with 25 goals in their last six top-flight matches. The Gunners bounced back emphatically after a Champions League defeat, putting in a faultless performance against Newcastle. Sven Botman's own-goal and Kai Havertz's goal gave Arsenal a comfortable lead within the opening 30 minutes. Bukayo Saka added a third goal, demonstrating his fine dribbling skills and becoming the first English player to score in five consecutive games for Arsenal since Ian Wright in 1994. Jakub Kiwior's goal completed the scoring, making Arsenal the first Premier League side to score at least two goals across seven consecutive halves. Joe Willock scored a consolation goal for Newcastle, but it was Arsenal's victory that showcased their title contention. With this win, Arsenal remains third in the league and has closed the gap on Liverpool. The Gunners are well and truly in contention for their first league title in 20 years.
