16/02/2020 - Newcastle United - Premier League - Men - H

Thank you for joining us for our live coverage from Emirates Stadium this afternoon - we hope you enjoyed it, Gooners! Stay close to Arsenal.com for post-match reaction from Mikel Arteta, analysis, highlights and much, much more! 👋

GOAL FOR ARSENAL! The ball drops kindly to Lacazette inside the area and our No 9 flicks it into the path of Ozil, who fires a first-time effort past Dubravka and into the back of the net 🤩

Another superb driving run from Saka. Our left back skips past two defenders and nutmegs another, before searching for Lacazette with an inviting delivery. Just an inch away from another assist. 

A big let off as Saint-Maximin cuts inside and fires past Leno, only to see his low effort bounce back off the post... 

That would have been quite some goal! Aubameyang has the chance to pull the trigger on the edge of the area, but instead he takes a number of touches and takes it to the byline, before hitting the crossbar with a deft chip from the tightest of angles 

GOAL FOR ARSENAL! Saka provides the cross and this time it's Pepe who finishes off with a side foot finish! 😎

GOAL FOR ARSENAL! Pepe cuts in from the right and picks out Aubameyang, who makes no mistake with his cushioned header 👏

SO CLOSE! Pepe displays exceptional close control to race past Lascelles, reach the byline and pick out Nketiah inside the area, but the latter's volley cannons back off the bar and behind for a goal kick 😫

We're back underway for the second half... 

Pepe tries his luck with a free-kick from 30 yards and Dubravka's forced into a difficult save 

CLOSE! Nketiah's powerful first-time effort from the edge of the area stings the gloves of Dubravka 

Smart play from Nketiah to dummy Saka's pass and look for a one-two with Aubameyang, but he's unable to combine with our captain

No clear-cut chances for either side just yet, but you get the feeling that an opener will arrive from a counter-attack. It's end to end stuff here at Emirates Stadium, with Pepe, Saka, Saint-Maximin and Almiron looking dangerous in transition. 

Impressive play from Saka to cut inside from the left and bend a curling effort just wide of the top right corner 

Longstaff's first-time volley deflects off Ceballos and looks set for the bottom corner, but Leno's on hand to produce an impressive reaction save 

An early chance for the visitors at Saint-Maximin weaves between Saka and Mustafi, before seeing his prodded effort deflected behind for a corner. David Luiz then climbs high inside the area to deal with the resulting set-piece. 

COME ON YOU GUNNERS! LET'S DO THIS! 🔴
