Eberechi Eze fired Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League on Saturday as relegation-threatened Tottenham won for the first time in 2026 to give themselves renewed hope.
Arsenal were nine points clear of Manchester City just two weeks ago before losing their way, allowing Pep Guardiola’s side to overtake them.
Saturday’s home game against Newcastle was a must-win for the Gunners, with City involved in an FA Cup semi-final against Southampton at Wembley, which they won to stay on track for a domestic treble.
Before Arsenal kicked off on Saturday, the two teams were locked on 70 points each, with an identical goal difference. City topped the table on goals scored.

Eze took the pressure off with an early goal, arrowing home from outside the box after being teed up by Kai Havertz and the game finished 1-0.
Earlier, the focus was on the other end of the table, where Tottenham and West Ham are locked in a dramatic relegation battle, with Wolves and Burnley already down.
Tottenham defeated Wolves 1-0, while West Ham beat Everton 2-1.
Liverpool also beat Crystal Palace 3-1 on Saturday, getting the better of their opponents for the first time in four meetings this season to climb into fourth place above Aston Villa, who earlier lost 1-0 at Fulham.
