    Lacklustre Manchester City slipped to a 2-1 defeat away at Newcastle thanks to goals from Salomon Rondon and Matt Ritchie which won it for Rafa Benitez's side.

    Alexandre Lacazette's goal proved decisive for Arsenal last night

    Arsenal secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Cardiff City at the Emirates stadium. It was all emotional at the ground as Cardiff paid respect to the missing Emiliano Sala who is yet to be seen. Arsenal got the first goal through a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty (1-0) but it was Alexandre Lacazette's solo goal (2-0) that proved decisive as Cardiff struck late to reduce the deficit to 2-1. Arsenal are still fifth level on 47 points with Chelsea who play their match today while Cardiff are 18th with 19 points.
    Arsenal are unbeaten at home in the Premier League since losing their first home game of the season to Manchester City.
    Cardiff are the only club in English League football yet to lead a game at half-time in any competition this season.
    Mesut Ozil has now created his 501st chances for his teammates, only Christian Eriksen has had more since Ozil's debut in September 2013. Eriksen has 510.
    Aubameyang scored his 25th goal in his 37th Premier League games for Arsenal, the quickest player to achieve that for Arsenal.
