    The Magpies are picking up here.

    HT: Arsenal 0-0 Newcastle! Half-time at the Emirates and the Gunners have been the better side despite the scoreline. Dubravka had to make a fine save to deny Aubameyang while Nelson and Pepe tested the keeper early on. Nelson also had a good opportunity, but he was unable to control the ball. Arteta's men have had plenty of corners, but failed to make use of them. Newcastle have had a few attacks, but doing nothing of note going forward so far. Back shortly!

    Arsenal are picking up now in this one.
  • 33'
    Carroll gets his head to the corner and then acrobatically clears it away for another corner.

  • 30'
    Longstaff gives the ball to Almiron, but he's unable to find a teammate in the box. Willian counters, is knocked down by Krafth and is lucky not to be carded.
  • 28'
    What happened there?? Tierney goes down the far side, he cuts back for Nelson, but he's unable to control under pressure from Newcastle defenders and the chance goes a begging.

    David Luiz catches Carroll from behind and Newcastle get a free-kick at midfield.
  • 5'
    Pepe is brought down by Dummett 25 yards from goal and it's a free-kick for the Gunners.
  • 3'
    Almiron and Joelinton combine for the Magpies this time and the Arsenal defence prevent the later from getting a shot off.
  • 3'
    Pepe tries his luck this time down this near side, but the strike is tame.
  • 1'
    Nelson!! Mari sends a long ball forward to Nelson who controls and then hits a shot along the ground which is simple for Dubravka.
