Arsenal's title hopes took another major hit over the weekend after Mikel Arteta's side were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle at St James' Park. 

Defeat marked the Gunners' third straight league game without a win and as a result, they have dropped to fifth in the table with 18 points.

Fortunately for Arsenal, reigning four-time champions Manchester City also lost on Saturday as they went down 2-1 at Bournemouth.
