HIGHLIGHTS | Newcastle United 0-2 Arsenal | Odegaard, Schar (OG)

Martin Odegaard continued his fine goalscoring form as he netted for the third time this week to help Arsenal to a vital win at Newcastle United.

The Norwegian fired home from 25 yards to give Arsenal the lead on 14 minutes, and in the second half some good play from Gabriel Martinelli forced Fabian Schar into an own goal to give Arsenal breathing room.

Both teams would rattle the woodwork during an end-to-end contest, which ended with Arsenal claiming three points from one of the division’s toughest places to get a result this season, and move back within touching distance of Manchester City at the top of the division.
