ARSENAL CRUISE TO THIRD PLACE WITH VICTORY OVER NEWCASTLE

Arsenal moved above Tottenham into third in the Premier League table with a 2-0 defeat of Newcastle United on Monday.

Juventus bound Aaron Ramsey, struck his fourth league goal for Arsenal before Alexandre Lacazette settled a somewhat scrappy encounter at Emirates Stadium.

Unai Emery’s side were far from their best, but Ramsey’s display while wearing the captain’s armband was significant, and his departure with an apparent injury in the second half will come as something of a worry.

Newcastle, who rarely threatened Bernd Leno’s goal, remain seven points above the bottom three despite a 12th league defeat in their past 13 meetings with the Gunners, which was confirmed by Lacazette’s lobbed finish seven minutes from time.
