Olivier Giroud scored the only goal of the game, as Arsenal returned
to the top of the Premier League, with a 1-0 win over Newcastle at Saint
James Park.
The Gunners struggled to break down the Magpies, who before the game,
had won 7 of their last 9 league games and the first half ended
goalless. The only goal of the match arrrived in the 65th minute, when
Giroud headed in Walcott’s free-kick, although the visitors had to cling
on for all three points in the end.
Chelsea kept pace with the frontrunners, with a 2-1 win over
Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Martin Skrtel gave Brendan Rodgers’ men
the lead early in the first half, before Hazard curled in an exquisite
equaliser. Eto’o then converted Oscar’s cross to give the Blues the
lead, which they never relinquished in the second half.
In other games, Totteham Hotspur hammered Stoke City 3-0, while
Romelu Lukaku scored the winner for Everton, as they defeated
Southampton 2-1.
