Arsenal edges past Newcastle
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second-half goal proved the
difference as Arsenal defeated Newcastle United 1-0 at St
James' Park.
The home side started brightly, with debutant Joelinton
heading wide before Jonjo Shelvey hit the post.
Arsenal's best chance of the first half fell to Henrikh
Mkhitaryan, who shot over the bar when well placed inside the penalty area.
The Gunners made the breakthrough after 58 minutes, with
Ainsley Maitland-Niles's pass finding Aubameyang, who lifted the ball over
Martin Dubravka to score.
Unai Emery handed Premier League debuts to Dani Ceballos,
Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli during the second half as Arsenal held on
to make it 13 wins from 14 competitive matches against Newcastle.
