Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice declared "one down and four to go" after the team's tense 1-0 victory over Newcastle United propelled them back to the Premier League summit. The win on Saturday re-established Arsenal's three-point lead over Manchester City, though City holds a game in hand.
The team's title charge had faltered, losing top spot after a defeat to Manchester City. However, the crucial win against Newcastle, secured by Eberechi Eze's ninth-minute goal, has reignited their campaign.
With their goal difference nearly identical to City's, the race is now a five-game sprint. Arsenal faces Fulham, Burnley, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace in their remaining fixtures. Captain Martin Odegaard stressed the team's resolve, stating, "We just have to keep going. It is the end of the season, just leave everything out that we have inside, fight every single game."
