Shearer backs Arsenal for Premier League title after 1-0 win over Newcastle
Ex-Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer reiterated his belief that Arsenal can win the 2025-26 Premier League title after the Gunners secured a 1-0 victory over his former club on Saturday. Eberechi Eze scored the only goal in the first half at the Emirates, putting Arsenal three points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Speaking after the match, Shearer said he still believes Arsenal can lift the trophy and warned that anyone thinking the title race is over because of City's Etihad result is making a huge mistake. He praised Arsenal's mentality, energy, intensity and hunger, noting they responded exactly as title contenders should despite doubts about their pressure handling. Shearer added that the performance showed Arsenal are still mentally in the fight. The win keeps Arsenal atop the table, but with City having a match remaining, the lead could be trimmed. Fans should watch Arsenal's upcoming fixtures to see if they can maintain momentum, while also considering City's remaining game as a potential turning point in the title chase.
