Martin Odegaard insists Arsenal will not back down in the Premier League title race and will "fight every single day", after returning to the summit with a win over Newcastle United.

Eberechi Eze's ninth-minute strike was enough to earn the Gunners a 1-0 victory, ending their two-match losing streak in the process.

They also moved three points clear of Manchester City, who had leapfrogged them with a win over Burnley in midweek, though Pep Guardiola's side still have a game in hand.

This was just the fourth time Arsenal won a Premier League match at the Emirates when the game's only goal came in the first 10 minutes, and the first since a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in October 2019.

But Mikel Arteta's side ground out the victory, and Odegaard knows how vital these three points can be for them come the end of the season.

"It was tough, very intense, very physical," he told Sky Sports. "We did everything we could, and we got the win. The most important thing was to bounce back with a win and get over the line with the three points.

"This schedule is crazy. 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, and we just have to keep going.

"That's where we want to be, but it is going to go all the way to the end. We are ready for it, and we will fight every single day."

Arsenal now hold the Premier League record for the most goals from corners in a single season (17).

Thirteen of those have put them 1-0 up, with this also the most times a team have opened the scoring via a corner goal in a campaign in the competition.

Only two of their 17 goals from corners in the top-flight this term have come from those taken short, though both of those have been scored home and away against Newcastle.

Asked about their short corners, Arteta told Sky Sports: "We have to be very unpredictable. When you see the way they defend, we believe it was a big opportunity for us to exploit them.

"The crowd reacted to the first and second one, which is understandable, but we do things because we believe they're going to give us value, and it was a great action.

"In the end, the ball has to arrive to the right player in the right position, and if that's the case, the chances of this happening are bigger."
