ROWE ROWE ROWE YA BOAT
Fantastic finish from the youngster.
- Nyle Smith
The ball was played up to Lacazette who guided it expertly into the path of Emile Smith-Rowe and to be fair to the youngster, still had a lot to do.
ESR was then able to bring it down on his chest and hit a left foot half-volleypast Dubravka.

ET 12. Arsenal are really knokcing on the door.
Mari played a superb pass to Pepe who brought it down on his chest and eventually got a shot off.
But a superb block from Ritchie spared Newcastle's blushes.

ET 7. OOOO WAS THAT A PENALTY?
Aubameyang seemed to be clipped by the right boot of Clark but the Gabon international went down far too easily.
VAR did do their checks but nothing was given.
- Nyle Smith
LUCKY ESCAPE
Emile-Smith Rowe sees red but the referee changed his mind. Who said VAR was a bad thing?

Granit Xhaka caught the ball cleanly on the volley but the Newcastle goalkeeper managed to get a hand to get fingertips to it.

90+4. Chris Kavannagh has changed his mind after looking at VAR and realising that the scream was worse than the challenge.
The challenge was reckless but a yellow was the right decision.

ITS A REDDDDD!!!!
EMILE SMITH-ROWE IS OFF!

87. Disappointing.
The cross is too high and eludes everyone in the box.

ARSENAL 0-0 NEWCASTLE
86. Andy Carroll has just won a corner for his team.
This gives the defenders a chance to go up and make something happen.

85. LAST FIVE OF NORMAL TIME!
Will anyone steal it here?
- Nyle Smith
ARSENAL 0-0 NEWCASTLE
81. Brilliant play from Tierney again.
He charged past DeAndre Yedlin who isn't no slow coach and whipped in a ball for Aubameyang who should of done much better with his header.
- Nyle Smith
ARSENAL 0-0 NEWCASTLE
80. Double sub for Newcastle.
Yedlin on for Almiron.
Anderson replaces Joelinton.
