EPL: Arsenal beaten at Newcastle as Man City thrash Bournemouth to go top

Arsenal were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United in a Premier League clash at St. James Park on Saturday night.

Anthony Gordon’s controversial second-half winner gave the hosts all three points from the encounter.

Despite the defeat, the Gunners are still in a good position in the table as they sit in third spot, behind Tottenham and Manchester City.

But it has been a notably poor few days for them for the Mikel Arteta side, with their Carabao Cup loss at West Ham on Wednesday.

Elsewhere, Sheffield United defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1, while Burnley lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace.

In the other Premier League games of the weekend, Brentford fought back to win 3-2 over West Ham while Everton and Brighton shared the spoils with a 1-1 draw.
