On Monday, when the Premier League resumed, Arsenal overcame West Ham 3-1 to take a seven-point lead, while Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 3-1.
As the Premier League resumed on Monday, Arsenal increased their lead to seven points with a 3-1 success against West Ham, while Newcastle moved up to second place with an outstanding 3-0 triumph at Leicester. With a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, Liverpool also returned from the World Cup break on a winning note. Harry Kane, who had suffered grief in Qatar, also scored in Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at Brentford. The six-week midseason break may have slowed Arsenal’s progress toward its first league championship since 2004.
After trailing by Said Benrahma’s penalty at the half 1-0, Mikel Arteta’s team overcame a new challenge.
At a joyous Emirates, two goals in five minutes from Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli turned the game on its head before Eddie Nketiah came through in place of an injured Gabriel Jesus to secure the victory.
Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the outcome and performance.
“The audience was tremendous both when we scored and right up until the moment we gave up the goal. They continued to believe. When we scored, the crowd cheered and we gained the necessary impetus.”
Newcastle won’t be stopped
The break did not slow down Newcastle’s momentum toward a Champions League comeback as the Magpies struck twice in the opening seven minutes at Leicester.
Chris Wood opened the scoring from the penalty spot, and Miguel Almiron added his ninth goal in his last eight league games after a one-two with Bruno Guimaraes.
Newcastle made it six straight league wins with Joelinton’s header from a corner in the 32nd minute, their greatest run in the competition since 2012.
On the prospect of a title campaign, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said, “We can do anything.”
