Arsenal beat Newcastle United
The match, played at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, marked the 37th game of the Premier League season for Arsenal.
In front of a raucous home crowd, Mikel Arteta’s men edged out Newcastle United thanks to a single goal from summer signing Declan Rice, who found the net in the 55th minute, per the BBC.
