Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak scores the decisive goal to deal a major blow to Arsenal's Premier League title hopes.

Alexander Isak scored the decisive goal to guide Newcastle United to a narrow 1-0 win over Arsenal, dealing a major blow to the visitors' Premier League title hopes.

Newcastle received a boost before the contest after it was revealed that Anthony Gordon and Isak had proved their fitness in time for the lunchtime kickoff.

Their inclusion ultimately proved to be crucial as Isak required just 10 minutes to head Newcastle into the lead from an inviting Gordon cross.

After going behind, Arsenal threatened to restore parity before the break, only to see Mikel Merino's effort kept out by Lewis Hall's last-ditch block.

Declan Rice then went close with Arsenal's first chance of the second period, sending his deflected strike just wide of Nick Pope's far post.

While the Gunners may have threatened on a couple of occasions, they ultimately lacked a real cutting edge as they struggled to find their best form at St James' Park.

Arsenal's disappointing display was summed up when Rice spurned a golden opportunity in stoppage time, directing his header wide from Bukayo Saka's inswinging cross.

In contrast to their hosts, Newcastle celebrated a successful day and their first Premier League win since September 15.

The win move the Magpies up to eighth place for the time being, while Arsenal could find themselves eight points adrift of top spot if Manchester City beat Bournemouth.
