Aaron Ramsey helped Arsenal up to third in the Premier League by opening the scoring against Newcastle in their 2-0 win on Monday.
Alexandre Lacazette was also on the scoresheet at the Emirates as they moved above north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the table.
Unai Emery’s side had not played for 18 days with the manager making a number of changes to the starting line-up, including dropping Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the bench.
Arsenal thought they had taken an early lead when Aaron Ramsey converted a corner at the far post, but it was ruled out for a foul.
Referee Anthony Taylor ruled Sokratis Papastathopoulos to have pulled Florian Lejeune’s shirt.
Ramsey did not have too much longer to wait to get on the scoresheet as he hit the back of the net again after half an hour – and this one stood.
After his flick set Alexandre Lacazette clear, he surged into the box and stroked the loose ball into the bottom corner.
Only a brilliant goal-line clearance from Matt Ritchie denied Arsenal a second on the stroke of half-time.
The winger was a brilliant last line of defence to block Lacazette’s fierce volley as it stayed 1-0.
The Gunners were dealt an injury blow in the second half as goalscorer Ramsey was forced off.
The Wales international was replaced by Mohamed Elneny as he went straight down the tunnel.
Ki Sung-Yueng had a good opportunity for Newcastle ten minutes from time but his shot from the edge of the area was just wide of the top corner.
