(Reuters) -Mohamed Elneny and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored either side of halftime as Arsenal cruised to a 2-0 away victory over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday. "This game showed our focus is still there in the Premier League," Arteta told Sky Sports. Newcastle, who collected eight points in four games in April to distance themselves from the relegation zone, struggled to impose themselves, but they remain nine points clear of the relegation places. For Arsenal, the first win in four games in all competitions should give their confidence a boost before they look to overcome a 2-1 deficit in Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Villarreal. "We needed this one, I think," said Aubameyang, who made his first league start since April 3 having recovered from malaria.
