Arsenal v Newcastle LIVE Premier League score and updates as
Mikel Arteta’s side have the opportunity to close the gap on leaders Liverpool as Eddie Howe’s visitors look to frustrate the Emirates once again

'Cruel' to judge Arsenal's Champions League knockout return on last-gasp Porto defeat, Arteta says

Arsenal host Newcastle in the Premier League as the Gunners look to bounce back from midweek disappointment to claim a crucial win in the title race.

Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten 1-0 by Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, losing to Galeno’s late winner, and now face another side who have caused them a fair amount of frustration in recent seasons. Eddie Howe’s visitors handed Arsenal their first Premier League defeat of the campaign in November in what was a fractious affair at St James’ Park, and also held the Gunners to a goalless draw at the Emirates last season.

But before their defeat in Portugal, Arsenal were flying and have won five in a row in the Premier League. With Liverpool not in action this weekend, Arteta’s side can go two points off the top of the table with a win but Newcastle will be looking to spoil the party against Arsenal once again. Howe’s side will have to improve defensively, however, with the Magpies conceding 18 goals in their last five in the Premier League.

Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

49 mins: A couple of half-chances for Newcastle as firstly, Isak drags Raya out of position to the right but can’t get a shot away or find a pass to a teammate to hammer into the unguarded goal.

Then the Magpies come forward again, Gordon cuts in from the right and curls a shot at goal but it’s comfortable for Raya to get down to and save,.

MISS! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

47 mins: This should be 3-0 and game over. More superb play by Arsenal as Saka slides in Martinelli who flicks a reverse pass between defenders to send Havertz through one on one.

He’s central but running to the left and tries to cut the ball back across Karius into the opposite corner but it goes wide. He has to score and could he just have rounded Karius for the tap-in? Not a great finish by Havertz

HALF-TIME! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

And the whistle goes. Wow. That’s as good a half of football as we’ve seen in the Premier League this season, not just from Arsenal but from anyone.

They’ve been sublime, completely dominant and deservedly lead 2-0 through a Botman own goal and a Havertz finish. Imperious from the Gunners.

Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

45 mins: Alert goalkeeping from Raya. He’s not had much to do in this first half but he sprints out of his box to beat Almiron to a ball into the right channel and hoof it into the stands. Good awareness

Three minutes of added time announced

Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

42 mins: Neat play again from Arsenal. So slick around the box and the close control is superb. Saka gets half a yard of space on the right of the box and clips the ball into the centre but the referee blows his whistle for a foul. Newcastle can clear

SAVE! Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

38 mins: Excellent save by Karius. Martinelli runs at the defence and finds Saka. He wiggles between two defenders with quick feet and lashes a shot at goal. Karius dives to his left and pushes the ball out for a corner.

Saka should never have been able to get a shot away between Livramento and Gordon. It’s been poor form Newcastle.

Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle

37 mins: This time Rice nicks the ball away following more lackadaisical Newcastle defending. HAvertz gets the ball but takes a touch too many and the chance goes begging. This is complete domination though
