Arsenal beat Newcastle 4-0 to move up to the top half of the table.
This was Arsenal's seventh win in the ongoing Premier League, the team is now preceded by Manchester United and Everton.
Mikel Arteta's side broke the deadlock on 54-minutes through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's well-placed header and Pepe doubled the lead just three minutes later with a first-time finish. It was followed by Mesut Ozil who scored the third goal on from substitute Alexandre Lacazette's pass and the Frenchman converted a fourth goal in injury-time.
Aubameyang's goal was his 15th goal in this season.
