Arsenal’s Premier League title aspirations suffered a setback as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners dominated possession but struggled to break down Newcastle’s resolute defense.

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead in the 35th minute with a well-taken finish, but Alexander Isak equalized for the visitors just before halftime. Despite intense pressure in the second half, Arsenal couldn’t find a winner.

This result leaves Arsenal just one point ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand. The title race is now wide open with just five games remaining in the season.
