Arsenal produced a crucial 1-0 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium, a result that not only strengthened their title push but also saw the club etch their name into Premier League history.
Arsenal claimed all three points thanks to a decisive strike from Eberechi Eze, who netted the only goal of the encounter to seal victory over the Magpies.
The win propelled Mikel Arteta’s side to the top of the Premier League table, placing them three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, although Pep Guardiola’s men still have a game in hand following their FA Cup semi-final commitment.
Mikel Arteta’s team, however, made headlines beyond the three points. According to OptaJoe, Arsenal now hold two unique Premier League season records: the most goals scored from corners (17) and the most goals from corners that resulted in a 1-0 lead (10).
