A superb strike from Declan Rice secured a 1-0 win for Arsenal over Newcastle United on Sunday, sealing their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
In a match reported by the Independent, Newcastle dominated much of the first half at the Emirates Stadium, with Bruno Guimaraes and Harvey Barnes testing goalkeeper David Raya, who made a series of key saves to keep the hosts in the game.
But Arsenal emerged stronger after the break, applying sustained pressure before Rice broke the deadlock with a stunning long-range effort.
