The only goal scored by Eberechi Eze enabled Arsenal to secure all three points against Newcastle, thus retaking the Premier League's leading position from Manchester City.
Arsenal hosted Newcastle at their home ground in the 34th round of the Premier League, and the match quickly heated up from the very first seconds. The visiting team nearly scored early, but Osula unfortunately missed his shot. Following that incident, both teams engaged in a back-and-forth battle, yet Arsenal demonstrated sharper precision in their attacking plays.
In the 9th minute, the home team capitalized on a well-organized corner kick situation. Eze surged forward from the second line and delivered a sharp, curling shot into the far corner, leaving goalkeeper Nick Pope completely helpless. With an early lead, Arsenal deliberately slowed down their pace, controlling the game's flow instead of continuously pushing forward.

On the opposite side, Newcastle faced significant difficulties in approaching the opponent's goal. They primarily relied on crosses from the wings but failed to produce clear effectiveness. The most notable opportunity for the visitors in the first half was Tonali's long-range shot, which couldn't defeat Raya.
Entering the second half, the match became tighter as both teams played cautiously. Arsenal still generated more dangerous opportunities, but their strikers lacked accuracy in decisive moments. Newcastle continuously adjusted their lineup in search of an equalizing goal.
