Arsenal make Premier League history during emphatic win over Newcastle United.

Arsenal made Premier League history during their comfortable win over Newcastle United, reports ESPN Sports.

After Liverpool won in midweek and Manchester City beat Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, the Gunners headed into their evening clash against Newcastle five points off the leaders.

However, Mikel Arteta’s men were in fine form as they raced to a 2-0 halftime lead thanks to a goal from Kai Havertz plus an own goal by Sven Botman.

In the second half, Arsenal remained on top and a stunning solo goal from Bukayo Saka plus a header from Jakub Kiwior made it 4-0.

During their win against the Magpies, the Gunners made their own Premier League history.

According to TNT Sports, Arsenal have scored 17 goals since they last conceded one, which is their longest run of unanswered goals in Premier League history. The run was eventually ended when ex-Gunners midfielder Joe Willock made it 4-1 in the closing stages.

Prior to their match against the Magpies, they last conceded a Premier League goal during their 3-1 win over Liverpool at the start of February.

Since then, they scored six against West Ham United, five against Burnley and four against Newcastle.
