Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle United

Arsenal 3

Newcastle United 0

Arsenal returned to the Premier League summit - for 24 hours at least - with an easy win over dismal Newcastle.

Kevin Keegan remains without a goal in three games since his return as boss, and Newcastle were never in contention. Emmanuel Adebayor headed in Mathieu Flamini's cross to put Arsenal ahead five minutes before half-time.

Flamini added a brilliant 25-yard drive after 72 minutes and substitute Nicklas Bendtner played in Cesc Fabregas for a simple third eight minutes later.

Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Senderos, Clichy, Diaby (Silva 77), Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, Adebayor (Walcott 82), Eduardo (Bendtner 71).Subs Not Used: Lehmann, Justin Hoyte.
