WOLVERHAMPTON, England, April 25 (Reuters) - Arsenal returned to the top of the ⁠Premier League on Saturday after scrapping their way to a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United, easing concerns over their dip in form.

The win ended a run ⁠of back‑to‑back league defeats against Bournemouth and Manchester City that had cost Mikel Arteta’s side their grip on first place for the first time since ‌October, with Eberechi Eze’s early strike enough to secure a hard‑fought three points.
